COPA and ACPA unveil 2018 Aviation Career and Scholarship Guide

The Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) and the Air Canada Pilots Association (ACPA) have unveiled the 2018 Aviation Career and Scholarship Guide, a one-stop resource aimed at promoting and facilitating new entries into the Canadian aviation industry.

The guide includes a directory of financial resources available to help fund the training necessary for those interested in entering the industry, as well as a variety of career education articles and other insights.

Over the next few weeks, the guide will be distributed to high schools, colleges and universities across Canada as well as flight schools, flying clubs, and other aviation-related organizations. Extra copies of the guide are available upon request.

“As the voice for general aviation, COPA has been a key player in helping to shape the future of Canadian aviation at every level,” said Bernard Gervais, president and CEO.

“Through this guide, we are connecting future industry members with the resources they need to jumpstart their career. We all have a role to play in Canada’s robust aviation industry, and it starts here with enabling the next generation of Canadian pilots.”

“We at the Air Canada Pilots Association are pleased to work with COPA to provide aspiring pilots with a roadmap to help launch their careers,” said Capt Matt Hogan, MEC Chair.

“It is a great time to be a pilot and our association is proud to be a leader in advancing the profession at home and abroad.”
