Aviation Club Ghana has undertaken diverse fora and conferences with experts within the industry as resource persons, organized career training programmes, educational excursions, sought internship slots within the industry for members and coordinated both indoor and outdoor activities such as flight simulation and aircraft modelling.

The club’s regular Aviation Career Conference brings together enthusiasts wishing to chart career paths in aviation as well as experts within the industry.

The 4th Aviation Career Conference this year attracted eminent aviators including the Director-General of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority, Air Commodore Kwame Mamphey who shared invaluable experience with the hopefuls and assured them of the great prospects lurking in wait for them within the growing industry.
