AeroEd — Aerospace Careers in the AI Era

A 741-page career intelligence platform built for students trying to break into aerospace. The industry faces a generational talent shortage, but students have no clear path in — no single place that connects career roadmaps, company intelligence, training programs, and hands-on projects into a coherent discovery experience. AeroEd is that place.

Built as a collaboration with a high school student pursuing a career in aerospace, who saw the gap firsthand.

The Problem

Aerospace is desperate for talent and terrible at recruiting it. Students interested in the field face fragmented information scattered across government sites, corporate career pages, and outdated guidance counselor resources. Meanwhile, AI is reshaping every aerospace role — from how engineers design airframes to how maintenance technicians diagnose faults — and none of the existing career guidance reflects it. Students are making education and career decisions without understanding what the industry actually looks like today, let alone where it’s headed.

Our Approach

AeroEd cross-links everything a student needs into a single discovery experience:

  • 10 career pathways — from Pilot and Aerospace Engineer to Drone Operations and Space Operations, each with AI-specific deep dives covering how the role is changing, what skills matter now, and what the compensation and hiring landscape looks like
  • 404 company profiles — every major aerospace employer with AI Outlook ratings, hiring signals, internship programs, entry-level friendliness, and clearance requirements surfaced on every page
  • 2,200+ flight schools — searchable directory covering the full training pipeline for aviation careers
  • 50+ student projects — hands-on builds that give students real experience and portfolio material before they ever apply
  • Synthesis library — deep-dive topics that cut across pathways, connecting AI trends, certification requirements, and industry dynamics into a broader picture

Key Capabilities

  • Site-wide search — indexes all 2,700+ entries so students can find any company, school, career path, or resource instantly
  • AI Outlook ratings — every company profile includes a signal on how aggressively the organization is adopting AI, helping students target employers aligned with their interests
  • Cross-linked discovery — pathways connect to relevant companies, companies connect to flight schools, projects connect back to pathways. No dead ends.
  • Built for students, not recruiters — surfaces what students actually need: Does this company hire interns? Is it entry-level friendly? Do I need a security clearance? What’s the realistic salary range?
