TAG Global Training Contributes to Futures Day at Farnborough International Airshow 2018

Debbie Elliott, Training Manager, TAG Global Training and Tess Naran, First Officer, Titan AirwaysTAG Global Training was delighted to participate at this year’s ADS Group’s Futures Day which took place on July 20th as part of the Farnborough International Airshow 2018. The ADS Group’s Futures Day is designed to encourage young people between the ages of 11-21 to pursue careers in the dynamic sectors of Aviation and Defense.

Debbie Elliott, Training Manager, TAG Global Training, was invited to be a guest speaker at the Women In Aviation International (WIA) UK networking morning. Commenting, Debbie said, “The ‘See Her, Be Her’ initiative brought together some of the most diverse roles held by women in aviation to encourage young girls to consider a career within Aviation. Hearing so many unique and inspiring stories really instils the belief that there is no career which is off limits and champions the women who have paved the way for women in the future.”

Among the other guest speakers was Tess Naran, First Officer from Titan Airways, an aspiring astronaut who was selected from over 3,500 applicants to reach the top six finalists as part of BBC2’s programme Astronauts: Do You Have What it Takes?

The "See Her, Be Her" event, as part of the Farnborough International Airshow 2018, coincides with the centenary year of the RAF and women’s suffrage and formed part of the launch platform for a new Women’s Charter to support women’s progression within aviation.
