In celebration of International Women’s Day, AAIS and Airbus Singapore co-organised an online talk entitled “Women in Aviation & Aerospace” on 5 March 2020 for students from the local polytechnics and universities.
Kicking off the programme, the students were warmly welcomed by Mr Mads Bondergaard, Airbus Head of Operations APAC & 2nd Vice-President of AAIS. Thereafter, Airbus Quality Customer Services Manager Ms Ivy Tan and Airbus Airline Marketing Director Ms Marie-Amelie Clotteau shared their respective career development journeys in the largely male-dominated aviation & aerospace industry.
The final segment of the programme was a lively Q&A session where students participated actively by asking wide-ranging questions such as, “What are the major challenges and setbacks faced as women in this industry?”, “How can women in the industry strike a balance in their work and personal lives?”, and “How are women empowered by corporate & HR strategies in the case of Airbus?”.
