Join industry leaders for an interactive roundtable discussion tackling the rotary sector's acute recruitment, retention, and mentorship challenges. Together, we will examine the industry-wide push to establish Red Seal certification for Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs), a key initiative that would complement Transport Canada licensing while unlocking vital apprenticeship funding, national trade recognition, and standardized training pathways. Bring your perspective to help build a unified, actionable advocacy roadmap to protect and empower the future AME workforce.
