Truckee Tahoe Airport District will be hosting an aviation career mentoring program for local high school and college students.

The four-session series of mentoring events begins Jan. 18 at the Truckee Tahoe Airport.

The career mentoring program, officially known as the Truckee Tahoe Flight Plan, is designed and conducted by Pathways to Aviation, a nonprofit organization seeking to inform, inspire, and engage the aviation’s next generation.

Students will learn about various aspects of the aviation industry in the first three sessions. They’ll also receive career planning guidance, particularly in the areas of job searching, skills identification, resume writing, and networking. The fourth session will take the form of a networking reception, where they’ll speak face-to-face with aviation industry executives and recruiters.

The Truckee Tahoe Flight Plan is open to all high school and college students and entirely free. To participate, students must register online.
