Career Opportunities
Pilots: There is a current and future demand for pilots in Canada and around the world. With more and more pilots retiring, industry growth and barriers to recruiting new workers, the aviation industry is projected to face a pilot shortage after COVID 19.
Projections indicate that Canada will face a pilot shortage in the near future:
- It is estimated that by 2025, Canada will need 15,000 new pilots
- The pilot shortage across Canada is causing some regional carriers to cancel flights
- Canada faces a shortage of 3,000 pilots and 55,000 workers overall in the aviation industry by 2025
- To meet the demand of the growing air travel industry, Canada should be producing an extra 300 pilots a year

- Passenger Airlines

The Fall term 2021 will be a transitional term: we are planning to conduct classes, labs and tutorials in person, on campus, to the fullest extent possible. For maximum flexibility, this approach will include a variety of options, including in-person, blended, hybrid, technology-assisted, and distance-education instruction, with as much as possible being delivered in-person.

The student groups flip each week.
Hybrid instruction (also called “HyFlex”): means a class for which the instructor is present in the classroom at the scheduled time/day, with students present who wish to attend in person, and students who prefer not to attend in person participating remotely at the same time (synchronous). The student makes the choice for any given class and can switch as needed. Requires additional support for content preparation, technology and class management.
Technology-assisted instruction (TAI): means a class for which the instructor gives the class via meeting technology (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet) at the scheduled time/day (synchronous), with students attending and participating remotely. Delivered on the Moodle platform.
