By 2041, the aviation industry will be short 132,000 commercial aviation mechanics. As the Teamsters union and aviation companies look for ways to fill these good paying, highly skilled positions, one possible solution is an Apprenticeship Program.

According to an article in MarketScale, the “Teamster’s initiatives align with outreach programs and events for students, sponsorships in Aerospace Maintenance Skills Competitions, FAA workforce grants to fully implement a soon-to-be educational program flexibly tailored to high school students and veterans in undeserved communities. In addition, apprenticeship programs for members within airlines, offering an accelerated program to earn their license quicker.”

The success of any apprenticeship program will depend on where or not it is easy to apply for, complete and manage, and that where Appion Solutions comes in.
