AirNav Ireland has joined the 30% Club Ireland, strengthening its commitment to gender balance and to attracting, developing and supporting female talent across aviation and air traffic management.
AirNav Ireland has officially joined the 30% Club Ireland, reinforcing its commitment to supporting greater gender balance, inclusion and opportunity across the organisation and the wider aviation sector.
Membership of the 30% Club Ireland will complement a range of initiatives already underway within AirNav Ireland to support the attraction, development and progression of female talent. These include the Women’s Network, Advancing Women in Leadership Programme, mentoring, internship opportunities, Girls in Aviation initiatives and engagement with Transition Year students.
The partnership also comes as AirNav Ireland continues to promote careers in air traffic management and encourage a more diverse pipeline of candidates to consider opportunities within the organisation, including its Student Controller Programme.
Gerald Caffrey, Chief Executive of AirNav Ireland, said:
“Joining the 30% Club Ireland is an important step for AirNav Ireland and reflects our commitment to creating an organisation where everyone has the opportunity to develop and succeed.
“Aviation has traditionally been a male-dominated sector, and we recognise the importance of actively encouraging more women to consider careers across our organisation, including operational and leadership roles.
“We want talented people from all backgrounds to see AirNav Ireland as a place where they can build rewarding and successful careers. Our membership of the 30% Club will help us learn from and contribute to a wider network of organisations committed to making meaningful progress on gender balance.”
As a member, AirNav Ireland will be able to engage with the wider 30% Club network and draw on its community of speakers and expertise to support future initiatives within the organisation.
To mark the membership, AirNav Ireland welcomed Elizabeth Sheehan, Country Executive of 30% Club Ireland, to Dublin Air Traffic Control Centre for a photocall with AirNav Ireland representatives.
Gwen Rogan, People, Strategy & Organisational Development Manager at AirNav Ireland, said:
“Our membership of the 30% Club gives us another important opportunity to build on the work already underway across AirNav Ireland. We want to continue supporting women at every stage of their careers while also encouraging the next generation to see the breadth of opportunities available within aviation and air traffic management.”
AirNav Ireland will work with the 30% Club Ireland to build on the partnership and support initiatives focused on developing female talent, strengthening representation and creating greater awareness of career opportunities across the aviation sector.
