Aviation & Aerospace Workforce Development Industry Strategic Skills Survey

2025 Aviation & Aerospace Workforce Development - Industry Strategic Skills Survey

As you may be aware, the Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Association of Ontario (AMEAO) was successful in its submission to the Skills Development Fund Training Stream Round 5 program. The Aviation & Aerospace Workforce Development (AAWD) Program, April 2025 – March 2026 is well underway. They are currently preparing a submission to the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) Skills Development Fund Training Stream Round 6 for the April 2026 – March 2027 year. Your input will greatly contribute to the proposal’s success. If approved, the organization will continue to provide no cost employer hiring support, training and trainee participant wrap-around support to further accelerate hiring, onboarding and job readiness training for new employees, upskilling of your current employees and support your strategic growth plans.

Your input is critical to the selection and development of new technical & non-technical skills development programs, desired delivery mechanisms and supports based on your demand. We are seeking your demand over the next 12 to 18 months in technical areas based on a no cost basis to you as an industry employer for hiring supports and training. No cost non-technical training areas and delivery mechanisms will also be based on Industry demand.

​This survey is focused on demand for 10 technical positions, 15 non-technical strategic topics and 6 delivery mechanisms. You may also state your needs in other areas not highlighted.
