Elevate Aviation is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2015 in Edmonton, Alberta. With programs all across Canada we are creating a shift in the aviation industry.

Research and polls from a variety of demographics across Canada, prove that the largest barrier to female entry into aviation is simply lack of awareness. How can something so simple have caused such a massive gender gap in an industry? This gap not only denies women options for economic security, but it has also been identified as a cause of a labour shortage that the industry is facing.

So, what are we doing about it? We introduce women and youth to careers in aviation through our many programs including tours, speaking engagements, mentorship, webinars, and our Elevate Aviation Learning Centre. We partner with Canada’s leaders in aviation to promote their companies, unique careers, and the industry as a whole. Each and every one of our programs are targeted at moving the needle in the industry. 

Our mission is to provide a platform for women and underrepresented groups to thrive and succeed through careers in aviation. Our vision is to be a primary provider of aviation career support, working alongside industry professionals to promote equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
