This week's MRO Update comes from MRO Americas 2024: We can't wait to start attending these events in the future to meet some of you and get insights and your feelings on the industry. But for now, we are looking at this article regarding new talent in aviation. We speak to a number of young aviation experts on a daily basis, and we couldn't agree more that there needs to be more opportunity for younger people, especially with such a shortage of experts. It seems not enough young people are aware of the benefits and the career that can come from working in such an amazing industry, so it's great to see some efforts being made and this topic coming to light. Here's to the future of aviation. 🥂 https://lnkd.in/esXhmhfu

Before you take that Aviation course, do you know this? Taking the right course is as important as taking any course for career development. Especially in the Aerospace and Aviation Industry, where everything keeps changing, questions like Which course should I take ? when? and how? Often arises well, often. Before you go ahead and toss hundreds of dollars, here are a few things you should consider:- • Career Aspirations - What do you envision for your career in aerospace and aviation? Let the courses align with your career goals. • Accreditation and Reputation - Research the accreditation status and reputation of the institution offering the course. Look for programs recognized by industry organizations and employers, ensuring your qualifications hold weight in the job market. • Industry Relevance - Ensure the course aligns with current industry trends and demands. Take programs that offer practical skills and knowledge applicable to real-world challenges in aerospace and aviation. • Financial Demands - Understanding the financial demands before committing to an aerospace course is crucial. Evaluate the total cost of the course, how to find it, explore available financial aid options, and also consider alternatives to make sure you're making the best decision. Dearest AeroLovelies, Aviation courses demand a lot of investment - time, money, and effort. Try to consider all these factors carefully before deciding on the best course to take for your career advancement. #aerospace #aerospacecareers #aviation #aerospacewithannie

📣 Happy #FeatureFriday! ✈️ We're thrilled to feature Federal Aerospace Institute this week! We recently sat down with them to get an inside look at their mission, values, and what makes them stand out. Here's what they had to say: 1. Can you describe your company's mission and values. - Our mission is to cultivate personal and professional excellence in the industry and community, foster a culture of engagement and service, help build stronger futures, and create a career-ready workforce together with our diverse student body. 2. What makes your workplace culture unique? - Here at FAI, we supply our students with the ability to learn in the classroom and also have hands-on learning with actual aircraft. Our students are on a block schedule of 5 hours in which they will complete all of their homework and studying so they can leave all of their schoolwork at the hanger and not take it home with them. 3. What benefits or perks do you offer your employees/students? - We offer students the assistance they need to complete their FAA certifications in Airframe and Powerplant. We also offer them the help they need to find the ideal job placement after you get your certification. 4. Can you share a recent success story or accomplishment from your team? - Upon graduation from our program, one of our students got a job offer with United that offered him a $25,000 sign on bonus and starting out at $75,000 a year. Other recent graduates are at a 100% job placement after receiving their A&P certification. 5. How do you support the professional development and growth of your employees/students? - We support our students' training by giving the state-of-the-art material to study and actual aircraft parts that they can practice on. We make sure they are over prepared for their final exams by following a detail-oriented curriculum. ➡️ Stay tuned as we dive into their team dynamics, community involvement, and career opportunities next Friday! 📍 Federal Aerospace Institute • 11371 W.

Finding my dream job was anything but a straight path. Like many, I imagined a clear trajectory—school, internships, and a seamless transition into my ideal role. However, my journey was filled with unexpected turns, detours, and valuable lessons. Each twist and turn brought new experiences, challenges, and insights that ultimately shaped my career. Serendipitously, I "fell" into my position at Collins Aerospace, a twist I never anticipated. What started as a chance encounter quickly transformed into an incredible opportunity that has exceeded all my expectations. For those who know me personally, you would know that my passion for advocacy is a fundamental part of who I am. Whether it's supporting causes related to social justice, environmental sustainability, or career development, I believe in the power of using my voice to effect change. At Collins Aerospace, I find a perfect alignment between my values and our culture, where I can actively contribute to fostering innovation, diversity, and inclusion. I get to champion these values every day, ensuring that our team reflects a wide range of perspectives and experiences. Moreover, witnessing the growth and success of new hires as they embark on their journeys within the company is a truly gratifying experience. Knowing that I played a role in their career advancement and contributed to building a stronger, more capable team at Collins Aerospace makes every effort worthwhile. It's more than just filling positions; it’s about building a community of passionate professionals dedicated to advancing aerospace technology and making a positive impact on the world. Moral of this story is - embracing the twists and turns in life can lead us to unexpected and fulfilling paths. I'm grateful for the time it took to “stumble upon” my role with Collins Aerospace, as it has opened doors with endless opportunities. Remember, it's not just about the destination; it's about the growth and experiences along the way. Here’s to the journeys that shape us! 🚀✨ If you or someone you know is interested in joining our incredible team, check out our open job opportunities here: https://lnkd.in/giFbXmbs #AlphaBravoCollins #Aerospace #Recruitment

One of the most important ways to succeed in your aerospace career as a student is to have a niche in the industry. Aerospace is a very large industry, and it can be overwhelming to navigate without a specific focus. In school, we are exposed to so many concepts, and deciding on areas of focus can be a bit difficult. Sure, it's fine to have a shortlist of about five areas of specialization to explore. And I'd be suggesting a few points to help trim the list: - What areas do I enjoy most and where do I perform best in exams? - How does this area align with the future of Aerospace (The future of Aerospace - Faster, More economical, and environmentally friendly flights)? - What are the career growth paths of these specializations? - What are the financial implications of these specializations? Dearest AeroLovelies, Specializing helps you focus your efforts and dive deeper into specific areas, gaining expertise that sets you apart in the industry. It allows you to build a solid foundation and opens doors to opportunities aligned with your interests and the evolving needs of aerospace. Annie is definitely a Propulsion babe, and I'm going for it. If not, then Flight Test and Materials are next on my list. What's yours? 🖼️ My view on my first Aircraft Engine experience... #aerospace #aerospaceengineering #aviationcareer #aerospacewithannie

All of us in Aerospace & Defense are faced with labor challenges. Automation is not the elixir for everything, and GenAI is not coming to save us. How then do we address the acquisition and retention of key personnel when building an experienced base is both expensive and logistically near impossible? Craig Gottlieb helps explain in this recent article in Aviation Week Network

Check out the latest issue of the ATEC Journal! This issue contains two academic pieces from aviation maintenance instructors, one focusing on insights from students on what drew them into a career in aviation maintenance and the other on adapting teaching methods to meet the change in students' dominant learning styles.
