Once you procure the required qualifications for becoming an Air Traffic Controller, a myriad of options are open to you. There are multiple projects you can undertake throughout this line of work, and there are many other fields you can branch out to as well.

• Air Traffic Specialist: An air traffic control specialist's responsibilities include organizing flying planes, guaranteeing airplane security, informing passengers of variations in temperature and ballistic trajectories, and guiding touchdown and take-off courses. The safety of air traffic controllers is their first responsibility. To guarantee that commercial flights are securely handled, they evaluate several parameters and interact with several stakeholders. They coordinate scheduled flights and guide airplanes to airports before departure. They communicate with pilots and notify them of changes in temperature, weather, or illumination at various elevations. They also offer directional assistance. Pilots are informed of terrestrial congestion and directed to their allocated terminals by air traffic controllers after arrival. In the event of a disaster, air traffic controllers notify the appropriate government and begin a relief and recovery operation.
• Communications Officer: Communications Officers are in charge of generating material for an institution's communications. They produce promotional materials, design blog material, and make social media postings, among other things. They're also in charge of tracking advertising statistics and keeping digital entertainment holdings up to date. Communications officers work for a variety of organizations, including non-profits, educational establishments, companies, and more. The most important characteristics for this position are excellent communication and intellectual abilities. Working knowledge of the best practices for popular social media sites is also beneficial for this role.
• En Route Controller: Once airplanes depart the airspace of an airfield, en approach authorities keep an eye on them. They operate in air routes controlling traffic centers around the continent, which are not usually situated at terminals. Depending on the topography and commercial flights in the region where it is situated, each center is given a territory. En-route controllers direct an airplane's path as it approaches and passes through a university's territory. They may alter airplane flying paths to avoid accidents and improve overall efficiency. Before turning over to destination approaches commanders, routing control systems oversee the airplane for the majority of the trip.
• Aircraft Dispatchers: For personal, business, and industrial aviation, aircraft dispatchers collaborate with pilots to verify airline compliance, develop flight plans, check safety procedures, and monitor temperature fluctuations. Working as an aviation dispatcher may be quite demanding. Even though they are sitting for the majority of their shifts, they must remain attentive and focused on flight schedules while functioning in poorly lit areas. A lot is depending on the decisions that are made by these dispatchers, and most of them leave the profession around the age of 50 given the natural strain of the position.
