Tackling the talent crisis with Leidos and RMIT

Later this month, we will host our first Australian Aviation Summit in partnership with Leidos Australia.

The event will tackle the biggest topics in the industry, including how the sector can begin to fix its chronic talent shortage.

In this special episode, Jesse Young, head of flight operations at Leidos, and Lea Vesic, CEO of RMIT’s Aviation Academy, talk candidly about what it will take to build and retain our future workforce.

They examine its causes, effects and what more needs to be done to solve this ongoing challenge. Plus, they also discuss their pioneering collaboration that will see Leidos provide $120,000 worth of scholarship funding to final-year students at RMIT.
