Not at all. We were talking about the difference between investing in increasing early-stage opportunities and merely offering quota-based jobs to under-qualified individuals. My point is, the Aviate initiative
is a quota-based program, but at the
training stage- not the
employment stage. It doesn’t guarantee anyone a job, but the intention is that the program can help individuals from certain groups become more competitive by the time they reach the interview stage. IOW, increasing the number of competitive minority candidates eventually translates into more minorities employed through merit-based hiring.
