The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) is set to host the "Youth Empowerment and Development in Civil Aviation" virtual session as part of the lead-up to the United Nations Future Summit. This session will take place on September 20, 2024, from 3 to 5 PM. GACA is collaborating with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for this event. This session marks GACA's inaugural involvement in a UN-affiliated event and will primarily focus on engaging youth in the civil aviation sector. The session aims to address the significant challenges facing human resources in the aviation industry, foster international cooperation, and explore career development opportunities for the next generation. The virtual session will bring together representatives from academic, industrial, governmental, and international organizations and young professionals in the aviation sector. They will share experiences and discuss best practices, innovative i deas, and solutions to ensure the sustainable growth of the industry. This session will serve as a platform to launch new collaborative initiatives aimed at developing a globally competitive and future-ready workforce in the aviation sector. By enabling public participation, the session will provide young people with the opportunity to interact directly with the speakers. GACA's participation in such events aims to showcase its programs, initiatives, and contributions to creating job opportunities in the air transport industry and empowering Saudi youth. This aligns with GACA's belief in the role of Saudi youth in developing and enhancing the aviation sector, in line with Saudi Vision 2030 and the National Aviation Strategy.
