Be a global employer of choice and a world-class leader in safety.
At CAE, our purpose is all about ensuring the safety and well-being of our stakeholders and our industry. It’s about putting people first. As our company shifts from a product to a training service focus, attracting, developing and retaining the best talent is more crucial to fulfilling our mission than ever. So is cultivating the highest levels of employee engagement.
We’re committed to ensuring that flying stays one of the world’s safest mode of transportation by advancing the highest standards of aviation safety, from the ground up into the skies.
Aviation safety has always been at the centre of CAE’s fabric. Making the skies safe is rooted in everything we do, from the design of our training products, simulators and computer based courseware, to the delivery of our training services on the ground and in the air. Over four billion people fly annually on commercial aircraft, a number that continues to rise. Every year through our Civil Aviation and Defence & Security business units, we train more than 220,000 pilots and crewmembers around the world to fly safer, both in airborne aircraft as well as on the ground in flight simulators. We also train aircraft mechanics, flight attendants and managers on the skills they need to keep aircraft flying safely in our skies.
Every year, we hold our Annual Global Environment, Health and Safety meeting, creating global synergies for exchanging best practices and aligning all H&S representatives with our corporate strategy and vision. We also celebrate Global Health and Safety Day at Work every year, to share health and safety initiatives with all our employees worldwide.
To achieve our vision of world-class H&S performance and zero injuries, we’re guided by our:

In the late 1940s, CAE consisted of 18 employees repairing and installing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) radio equipment from a vacant aircraft hangar in St. Hubert, Canada. Today, our 13,000+ employees work across 180 sites in more than 35 countries delivering sophisticated integrated training solutions. Their expertise and passion for excellence fuel our global success as the training partner of choice in civil aviation, defence and security, and healthcare.
Our employees have helped develop the next generation of talent and expertise by working side by side with over 250 co-op students annually. The benefits to both CAE and the students are significant. Our employees also actively mentor high school students interested in engineering and science through diverse programs and competitions.
In 2015, a group of five women from various professional backgrounds and different stages of their career spearheaded the launch of CAE’s Professional Women’s Network (PWN). This employee-led initiative is steered by a committee of volunteers and guided by an Advisory Committee composed of CAE executives. The PWN’s mission is to attract, retain, engage and develop women at CAE and help them achieve their goals. Today the network has 200 members in Montreal and chapters in other regions worldwide such as Sarasota and Tampa, Florida, and Ottawa, Ontario.
