Habitat for Aviation at BETA’s Hiring Day

Written By Beth White

Abby Demar, Emma Cornett, Zoë Brosky, Kyra Becker, and Beth White attended BETA Technologies' Hiring Day in their brand new 40-acre manufacturing facility in South Burlington, VT.

We shared information about our initiatives, including the Women Build Planes program and handed out our hot-off-the-press SHERO postcard series, as well as our iconic Rosie Bandanas.

Abby got the chance to sit for an interview with one of BETA's engineers, which provided a great experience as well as an idea of what to work for in her last year of high school; and she and Kyra Becker got a chance to take BETA's electric eVTOL airplane, ALIA, for a virtual spin around BTV.

We were thrilled to be surrounded by other incredible non-profits, including the Vermont's chapter of Women in Aviation and EAA Chapter 613. It was a memorable day.
