Be ATC Campaign Toolkit
Every year, the FAA has a short window for any eligible U.S. citizen to apply to become an air traffic controller (ATC). To raise awareness for the upcoming application window (April 19-22, 2024), the FAA has launched a campaign called Be ATC to encourage more applications from women, minorities, and individuals from underrepresented communities.
To help us spread the word about this exciting career opportunity to become an ATC, please share the following digital products.
