(Feb. 21, 2013) – GlobalAir.com, a leading web-based aviation information website, is pleased to announce Jeffrey Carrithers, president and CEO of Globalair.com has been appointed to the board of the Kentucky Institute for Aerospace Education (KIAE). (http://www.kiae.org/) As the program continues to grow, the KIAE requires a strong board of members to help drive students to success in multiple fields of aviation knowledge. Flight department heads, UPS pilots, aviation mechanics, and flight instructors are among the board as well. Similar to any other field of knowledge, aviation offers a large variety of potential, as well as positions and career employment opportunities. At the beginning of each calendar year, the Kentucky Institute for Aerospace Education’s board is assessed and made stronger; this year’s additions were no different. Mr. Carrithers was brought onto the board for his extended knowledge in aviation business, including advertising, web development, web design, marketing, public relations, etc. The director of the KIAE, Tim Smith has said “Jeff brings aviation business careers to the institute; this is something that is relatively new this year. Jeff offers an expanded wealth of knowledge regarding the “suit and tie” side of aviation. “ Carrithers notes, “The KIAE program is one of the most unique curriculums I have seen in any education system, much less in an aviation environment. One of the hardest jobs our teachers have is discovering how to engage their students”. He continues, “Engaging our youth in mathematics and physics is difficult. KIAE shows students these principles through aviation and how they work in everyday life applications. From preliminary reports we have seen thus far, this program is really working”. The KIAE program caters to high school students from twenty different high schools throughout Kentucky and southern Indiana; thus making up for twenty-five percent of the high school aerospace participants nationwide. KIAE is working hard to motivate young adults as they achieve their aerospace career goals. About the Kentucky Institute for Aerospace Education Tim Smith founded KIAE in 2010 while he was searching to find a method of teaching that would allow students to engage in fun, yet educational activities; both inside as well as outside of the classroom. What Tim found was a self-produced program commonly referred to as STEM learning. The STEM program was developed to reach out to students providing hands-on training in various aviation career fields. Tim would however, be sure to include science, technology, engineering and mathematics; About GlobalAir.com Based in Louisville, Kentucky, GlobalAir.com serves the general aviation, business aircraft, and regional airline communities by offering clients and online visitors a wide range of premium aircraft and aviation-related data and services.
