The students participated in private airfield tours, were given behind-the-scenes access to projects like the Great Hall Project, business technologies and DEN leadership to gain a better understanding of airport operations, elements of their career interests and education needed to enter careers in aviation.
“As a leader in the aviation industry, DEN welcomes and encourages access to educational opportunities that promote growth and development to not only our staff, but also those who seek and deserve those opportunities,” said DEN CEO Phil Washington. “DEN depends on people to move passengers safely and effectively in and out of the Mile High City. As we prepare to welcome more than 100 million passengers per year, educating, supporting and helping future generations of students is essential to our success.”
This effort is an initiative of DEN’s Center for Equity and Excellence in Aviation (CEEA). DEN established CEEA to support future travel demand and growth as part of the airport’s Vision 100 plan to successfully serve 100 million passengers. With more than 1,400 City and County of Denver employees and 37,000 badged employees in mind, CEEA is the first of its kind in the aviation industry. Its focus is to help launch the next generation workforce of inclusive and diverse talent through a talent development and engagement center, a research and innovation lab and training opportunities for employees all with a focus on equity.
CEEA construction will break ground at the end of 2023. Once open, the center will also serve as a resource for businesses and organizations looking to increase their workforce diversity.
Denver International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. DEN is the primary economic engine for the state of Colorado, generating more than $33 billion for the region annually.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
