There’s no debating that from manufacturing to airport development to the emerging Urban Air Mobility market, every sector of aviation is experiencing unprecedented growth. The problem is that there aren’t enough professionals with real-world insights to help guide these various programs to success.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Worldwide College of Business is providing a solution. With global access to top instructors and an industry-focused curriculum, it equips aviation-career-minded professionals with the tools to develop the skills and knowledge the industry demands, without upending their current jobs or family lives.
“The online programs deliver flexible, career-focused education designed for students balancing professional and personal commitments. Now they can learn anywhere, anytime,” explained Dr. Aaron Glassman, Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society (FRAeS), Department Chair and Associate Professor in the Department of Management at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. “Graduates of the College of Business are prepared to advance their careers, lead within their organizations and quickly adapt to the evolving demands of today’s aviation business environment.”
<h2>Learn from professionals who have “been there and done that.”</h2>
One way Embry-Riddle helps ensure that graduates of the Worldwide College of Business achieve the success they want is the unique way that the classes are structured. This isn’t “textbook-based” learning.
“I like to tell people that we have built a ‘Day in the Life’ curriculum that concentrates on what they need to know to do a job,” Glassman said. “For example, if someone is studying airport management, the classes are taught by someone who did that job. There’s complete alignment between the curriculum and the requirements of that career.”
And it’s not only the hard skills that receive emphasis. He explained that in ‘softer’ areas like leadership, the programs stress meeting the challenges of today’s workforce. “You aren’t going to be a successful leader using yesterday’s techniques. Today’s forward-facing workforce has different goals, motivations and incentives. Good leaders need to be ready to meet those needs,” Glassman said.
“And beyond our academics, being part of Embry-Riddle’s College of Business fosters a strong sense of connection and collaboration with peers from diverse backgrounds and industries,” he continued. “With tens of thousands of alumni around the world, that’s a huge part of our value as an institution now.”
“It’s an extension of your professional ‘family,’” Glassman said. “It’s a community with shared values, shared goals and an extraordinary list of achievements that touch all corners of someone’s career and life. Not many groups have that connection.”
