"The A/AA Reaching Higher Mentor Program has been truly fantastic, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to A/AA and the entire team. I was paired with a mentor who has been incredibly supportive. We engaged in discussions on various topics, particularly on how a Ph.D. student like myself can translate research into the real world and contribute to the aviation industry. The mentorship not only provided me with valuable ideas and industry insights but also equipped me with the necessary technical knowledge and soft skills to kick-start my career in the field."

I’ve met new people, enjoyed seeing their growth and gained a deeper understanding of parts of our industry. I’ve found mentoring to be satisfying, interesting and often thought provoking. A/AA provides good support to mentors and mentees throughout the program."
Davida Forshaw:
"Being a mentor in the Aviation/Aerospace Australia Reaching Higher Mentoring Program has been an incredibly rewarding experience. It's truly amazing to witness the growth and success of your mentee, and that's exactly what I found with Sarah. From the very beginning, we connected on a great level. Our sessions, whether on Zoom, phone calls, or even over brunch at local coffee shops, were always engaging and productive. We covered a wide range of topics that were important to Sarah's goals, including navigating the application process for her dream job as a pilot and crafting a few compelling scholarship applications. Sarah's dedication and enthusiasm were truly inspiring. It was a joy to see her tackle challenges head-on and celebrate her victories along the way. The best part? She achieved incredible results! Not only did Sarah land her first flying job as a flying instructor, but she was also awarded a well-deserved scholarship from the International Society of Women Airline Pilots. The Reaching Higher Mentoring Program provided a fantastic framework for mentorship, but the real magic lies in the connection between mentor and mentee. I'm incredibly proud of Sarah's accomplishments and so grateful to the program for allowing me to be a part of her journey. If you're looking for a way to make a positive impact, the Reaching Higher Mentoring Program is an incredible opportunity."
