Ozarka College Aviation students were joined by area high school students, community members, and industry professionals on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 for Ozarka Aviation Industry Career Day.

Students were given an opportunity to interact with a panel of industry professionals who represented a wide variety of careers within a diverse and quickly expanding aviation industry. The event featured a question and answer session that yielded informative discussions and provided students with insight into the education, skills, and experience needed to work in various aviation jobs.

The event was co-hosted by Aviation Program Coordinator, John Catlett, and Ozarka Career Planning Mentor, Kendra Smith. "The best piece of career advice I can give to a student is to find someone who is doing what you want to do, at the level you want to do it, and ask them how they got there. That's what this event was all about, " stated Smith. "This was an excellent opportunity for those interested in aviation to discover the diversity in the aviation industry, " stated Catlett.
