Description:
Through this 33-month systemic change project, Elevate Aviation will scale their feminist response and recovery project to further advance women’s equality, safety, retention and representation in leadership and decision-making roles in the aviation industry. It will scale to a Pan-Canadian reach (Prairies, Ontario, Pacific, Northern) addressing equality for women and underrepresented groups. The project will apply a DEI lens to focus on 3 key activities: DEI benchmarking, consulting, and training with clients; evaluate client succession plans to address power imbalances; and analyze HR and recruitment policies to ensure companies are safe, welcoming and developing internal talent for long term retention.
With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, Elevate Aviation will refine and adapt existing tools for northern, remote and cross-sector work, digitize programming, rollout new assets, design micro-credential framework, and develop leadership pathways for women, succession planning toolkits and onboarding packages. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.
