ABSTRACT

Successful tralmng and education programs focus on the varying instructional needs of diverse students. Important differences related to learning exist universally and have broad implications in the aviation industry, an industry that must compete for the talent of the increasingly diverse worldwide workforce. The ability to address cross-cultural, racioethnic, and gender differences is essential in making aviation education and training more inclusive. The increased use of computer-based instruction and distance learning technologies are key factors in developing aviation programs applicable to a multicultural environment. Guidelines for Inclusive CourselModel Development provide specific focus for inclusive strategies and offer the training organization an opportunity to define and create learning and training environments that are inclusive.
