Abstract
Despite major advancements in recent decades, gender inequalities in the labor market still exist worldwide, and efforts to achieve gender equality appear to be in a standstill. Entrepreneurship provides important opportunities for women to stand on their feet and empower them economically and socially. Training and fostering entrepreneurial traits in people are two important variables in the growth of entrepreneurship. Aviation is one of the industries in that women are underrepresented. This study explores the results of an applied project based on entrepreneurship education to foster the empowerment of young female aviators. The project highlights female vocational high school students' entrepreneurship skills and future potential. The results reveal that female students may cultivate positive attitudes by being aware of their competencies and acquiring 21st-century abilities, including leadership, entrepreneurship, creative thinking, teamwork, communication, and persuasion.
