25 January, 2019: AAR, an independent provider of aviation services and Lake Superior College (LSC) will be expanding their partnership to further improve instruction and career prospects for students enrolled in the aviation maintenance technician programme at the college’s Centre for advanced aviation.
Both the companies have partnered since 2013 on marketing and recruiting, and to extend apprenticeship opportunities.
“Lake Superior College and AAR already have been working closely together to serve our students and help prepare a highly-skilled workforce. This new EAGLE Career Pathway program will make our connection even stronger and offer increased opportunity for our students,” said Patrick Johns, President of Lake Superior College. “EAGLE will provide additional marketing and recruiting opportunities and should result in more students enrolled in our program, give them a clear career path and provide additional resources to support their success.”
The EAGLE Career Pathway schools will be opened near AAR’s aircraft repair stations in United States. The programme will help students earn portable, stackable skills credentials to earn a two-year associate degree or enter a management track. Students who are interested in pursuing the coveted position of FAA-certificated airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanic will be benefited with stackable skills.
Up to $15,000 in tuition reimbursements will be available for students who will pursue the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aircraft mechanic’s certificate.
