Female students take wings at the Airbus Little Engineer workshop
The workshop conducted by Airbus Middle East in partnership with the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) aims to instil a passion for science, technology and engineering among young girls and to encourage them to pursue a career in the aviation industry.
Despite major advancements in gender diversity and career progression opportunities, women are vastly under-represented in the region’s aviation and aerospace sectors.
