Overview

• Current industry trends in the aviation and aerospace industry

• Cyclical nature of the industry and disclaimer

• Areas of potential growth and areas that have stagnated

• Potential salaries within various areas of the industry

• Leveraging the ERAU degree

Data• The crystal ball disclaimer

• Historical data– The effective success rate of ERAU graduates over the last 2 academic

years (2011-2012 and 2012-2013)

– 51.4% and 47.8% respectively

– ERAU has been historically above the national average determined by NACE (National Association for Colleges and Employers – 25%)

• Growth within specific colleges– COE decreased from a 52.76% to 51.7% success rate

– COB decreased from a 54.8% to 53.6% success rate

– COAS decreased from a 52.6% to 49.1% success rate

• The 2013-2014 data has yet to be completed

Industry Trends

• Growth within the industry overall has steadily increased from the 2008-2009 academic year

• One indicator from my perspective has been the increase in employer engagement on the residential campuses

• Since 2010 we have seen the number of companies recruiting on campus increase from approximately 5 companies visiting campus to on average we now have over 20 companies within an academic year (outside of the career fairs)

• Spring of 2014, in a 1 week period employers (Northrop, Rockwell Collins, Cape Air, American Eagle) conducted 40+ interviews for full-time and internship positions

Areas of Growth• Professional pilots

• Maintenance professionals continue to be in high demand and this area has remained steady over the last 8 years

• Engineering continues to be in demand

– Northrop Grumman has placed ERAU on their hit list of universities

– Over the last year has increased recruiting of ERAU students and graduates

– Bombardier, Rockwell Collins, and others have increased their on-campus presence

• UAV sector of the industry continues to grow

– Will likely become more of demand once the FAA determines how to handle the private sector

Areas of Growth (cont.)

• Business and management graduates have sustained a placement rate above 50% over the last several academic years

• Homeland Security as well has seen continued success, especially with those who have previous military experience

• Aerospace and software engineers continue to be in demand as well as other engineering disciplines, with the exception of civil engineering
