"What is one piece of advice you'd give your younger self?" This message was posed by a Summer 2024 Cirrus Intern in a group chat of 42 incoming students. First, let's recognize the confidence and vulnerability it took to ask this question in a group of strangers. Second, let's take a look at some of the responses: -"Keep moving forward." -"No amount of money ever bought a second of time." -"The grass is greener where you water it." -"Make time for those close to you because tomorrow is not guaranteed." -"Remember where you started." -"Every day is sunny if you get above the clouds." Not only did this chat feed remind me why I love working with the student programs at Cirrus Aircraft, but it made me grateful. I'm grateful for an organization that recognizes and nurtures the potential of emerging talent, knowing that these incoming students will shape the future. As professionals, it's easy to get comfortable in our routines and ways of thinking. There is immense value in stepping back and learning from the vibrant minds of the new generation of students entering our fields. Fresh perspective matters. To the 2024 Cirrus Aircraft Intern Cohort joining us soon, we can't wait to meet you!

As graduation season approaches, one can't help but reflect on the past. It's been a while since I graduated from the University of Cincinnati. Looking back, I realize how much that internship at Delta Air Lines sparked my interest in the aviation industry. From there, I've been fortunate enough to work in various roles at different airlines. One of my fondest memories was visiting Wheels Up Wheels Up Private Jets and learning about the private jet industry. It was an amazing experience that reminded me why I love this industry so much; it's constantly evolving, which keeps it exciting. #aviationindustry #keepclimbing

My favorite day I've worked so far during my internship has been replacing fuel drain valves, sometimes they can come loose and drip fuel, which the fuel tank is actually contained in the wings of the aircraft, but these valves can easily be replaced. With this I also learned the importance of safety wiring, which we don't often see in the auto industry, but it is very commonly practiced in the aviation industy. https://lnkd.in/gBG3BP3N

The dream of every aspiring Aircraft Engineer is an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Internship with hands-on experience in Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Operations. "Did you think they'd just let you begin work on their Aircraft?" That was what my brother, Olusola Ojewunmi told me after my first day at Arik Air Limited back in 2021. I was ready to go all into doing "Engineer" things, so it was quite painful to know I'd be working in an office for the time being. Fast forward to almost 3 years after, at Onedot Aviation for my Graduate Training program, I came prepared. I knew I'd be working in an office for the time being to get on track with company procedures before I begin my dream work. Still, it hasn't been entirely easy. But in all, I've learnt to trust the process. It isn't easy, but it's absolutely necessary. Would I do it again if I could? Well, to be honest, I've got no choice, but to do it. Why? To gain in-depth knowledge on the totality of Aircraft Maintenance and not just the Engineering Aspects. My Dearest AeroLovelies, I know we are all eager to start the "Engineer" things during our Internships and Graduate Trainings. That has been our dreams for so long. But to be able to truly understand the beauty of Aircraft Maintenance, it's important to work in other related departments. Annie is enjoying her time at the Quality Assurance department. You too should. #aircraftmaintenance #aviation

Congratulations to Domanick Hamilton on his SkillBridge/CSP internship with Job Aire Group Inc.!!! 👏👏 Q: Why did you choose this internship? A: I chose Job Aire Group Inc. because my passion is working on planes, and this company will help me accomplish my goal of getting my A&P license. In the Air Force, I was a 2w1 (weapons) and that job does not transfer to aircraft maintenance on the civilian side. Q: What do you hope to achieve? A: Through this internship I want to learn more about the commercial side of aircraft maintenance and eventually come out with my A&P license. Q: How did HireMilitary help you? A: HireMilitary had a wide variety of options when I was looking for different jobs. So I applied for something that sparked my interest, and Amber quickly responded to get the process started. With lots of help from Amber, I was able to start my new journey with Job Aire Group Inc. - Domanick Hamilton, Aircraft Mechanic at Job Aire Group Inc. 👏👏 Want to learn more about SkillBridge/CSP internships in aviation?

Connecting Aviation to Early Career Exploration At the 2024 New York Airport Management Association (NYAMA) conference, I discussed workforce development, focusing on the generational shift impacting today's workplace. The networking opportunities opened doors to conversations on how aviation organizations can team up with BOCES organizations in their area to introduce students to the multiple career opportunities with airports and related industries. It was relevant to share that SUNY continues to have an appropriate place in workforce development. Their proactive approach to developing micro-credentials, badges, and certificates allows students with scarce financial resources to afford the programs. It gives them the tools to enter the workforce and pursue career advancement using employers' tuition reimbursement and other economic resources. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to highlight ideas for all employers to engage with BOCES efforts. I shared a checklist of multiple opportunities for early workforce development and proudly praised my organization by saying: "In New York State, you have a BOCES organization near you with a proven long-term record of technical education and workforce development results. It is in the best interest of employers to find ways to connect the dots with classroom presence, internships, mentorships, and summer jobs." I was fortunate to count on Walter Constantini, The Director of Aviation at Mohawk Community College, who discussed the contrast between the demand for aviation workers and the supply. In his exciting remarks, he also shared that the skills that prepare a student for aviation mechanics are the same for other industries, such as amusement park equipment. Therefore, not only are we behind in catching up to the aviation mechanic's gap, but the industry also competes with other organizations that recruit from the same graduate pool. I am a proud member of the NYAMA Academic Committee and extend my genuine appreciation for the opportunity to join this organization and share with those in attendance the benefits of supporting BOCES in their communities.
