About this listen

 Amman went from rejection to finding her path in aircraft maintenance—then had to fight to be treated like a real technician. In a mostly male program, she was pushed toward admin work while men got hands-on tasks. A mentor’s line changed everything: “Engineer has no gender.” She kept showing up, asking questions, and pushing for harder work until the hangar floor had to take her seriously. Now based in the UK, she explains the shift from credential-focused hiring in Pakistan to a UK system that rewards networking and communication. She also breaks down why the industry is facing a technician shortage: universities often teach theory without enough real on-job training. Her answer is simple—make maintenance more approachable, rebuild practical pipelines, and recruit wider, including more women.
