Those interested in pursuing a career in aviation outside of being a pilot—or as a complementary track to widen their skill set and employability—may want to consider one in the aircraft electronics field. With a range of potential jobs in the offering, from engineering to avionics installation and maintenance, there may be something worth investing in training for. The Aircraft Electronics Association has offered a total of $1.5 million in scholarships to students seeking employment across the industry as well as for those already employed by AEA member companies seeking to level up.
