Breaking News: A Day of Immersion Aims to Inspire Vocations in Aerospace and Aeronautics
On a mission to bridge the gender gap and spark interest in STEM careers, a special initiative took place at the Bourget Air Show. A group of young girls participated in a tailor-made program designed to expose them to the diversity of the aerospace and aeronautics industry—two high-demand sectors that desperately need more female talent.
An In-Depth Immersion Program
The immersive experience included:
- A guided tour of the show and discovery of the stands of major companies and partner schools.
- A meeting with the members of the “They Move” association.
- A privileged reception at the chalet of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
- Impressive air demonstrations.
Collective Efforts for Equal Opportunities
The event was a collaboration between various partners driven by a shared mission. The “They Move” association has long been dedicated to helping students discover engineering careers. Trang Pham, the regional delegate in New Aquitaine, played a key role in organizing this event.
Additionally, Tarmaq, “The City of Aeronautical and Spatial Knowledge,” and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region actively contributed to the event to promote industrial and technological sectors. Companies like Safran and Lock also played a crucial role by welcoming these students and providing them with insights into aeronautical professions.
impact and Futures
With the help of these companies and associations, the students had a unique experience that could be a turning point in their career choices. “Thanks to this synergy, the students were able to have a unique experience, which could well mark a turning point in their orientation journey,” the organizers noted.
A big thank you to all those who have enabled these young girls to live a significant experience, giving them the desire – and the keys – to consider a future in the engineering and aeronautical professions.
The event marked a step forward in promoting equality in STEM fields, but it also emphasized that there is more work to be done. By highlighting these fields to students early on, we can inspire a new generation of engineers, scientists, and technical experts.
