Elevate Aviation

Purpose

This 25-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Elevate Aviation will achieve this by addressing systemic barriers within the aviation sector in Canada. The organization will develop assessment tools to effectively assess the current Equity Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) status of companies within the aviation industry. They will develop a cohesive plan for employers to implement in their workplaces to improve their EDI policies and procedures, and engage and provide training to advance gender equality in aviation. Elevate Aviation will assist organizations in removing barriers to entry for women into aviation careers by putting EDI at the forefront of their recruitment goals. Finally, they will assist organizations to develop a succession plan to achieve 50-30.
