Director of TECwomen CIC, Caitlin Gould, said: “Our Take Flight programme has been building year on year and with this support we will continue to grow our reach and inspire more young women across rural and coastal locations.
“Young women are crying out for opportunities, especially programmes designed specifically to support them and help them thrive,” she added.
The government said aviation was a “rapidly growing” sector following the approved expansion plans for Gatwick and Luton airports and the push for a third runway at Heathrow.
Aviation, maritime and decarbonisation minister Keir Mather said the government fund was “helping to break down barriers to opportunity and encouraging the next generation to aim high”.
“Alongside securing the future of the aviation industry, this is about ensuring young people from all backgrounds can see and learn about the varied and often highly skilled jobs and future opportunities,” he added.
