“The ATEC Employer Link is a critical stop that allows us to engage with students as well as educators that producing the technical workforce needed throughout the aviation industry,” said Ryan Goertzen, AAR’s vice president workforce development.

Goertzen pointed to the Company’s EAGLE Career Pathway Program designed to provide a systematic path for high school and college students to develop their careers at aviation maintenance providers like AAR and beyond. Selected EAGLE partner schools provide the level of training that exceeds the FAA standards and prepares students for entry to one of five U.S. AAR MRO facilities.

EAGLE is also a marketing tool used by schools to explain the career path beyond the entry-level technician role to positions in management, maintenance operations, quality control and safety."
