Aviation pathways

Overview
A growing shortage of pilots and aviation mechanics currently impacts the local, national aviation industry. High paying, exciting careers await those who have interest in these fields – and the training and jobs exist right here in Hawaii. Working with many local organizations, Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum designed a program called Aviation Pathways, to help Hawaii youth pursue their aviation dreams and preparing them for an exciting career in aviation.
