Leading Aviation Service Provider AAR Corp Launches Campaign To Reverse Erosion Of Sector Workforce (From Forbes)

January 30, 2019Loren B. Thompson, Ph.D

The nation’s leading independent provider of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul services has launched a major initiative to attract more talent to the sector. Called the Eagle Pathways program, the initiative is aimed at facilitating access to technical careers in a field that will need 189,000 new specialists in North America over the next 20 years. AAR Corporation CEO John Holmes says the initiative is necessary because nearly a third of aircraft maintenance technicians are likely to retire in the next several years at a time when aircraft fleets are growing but recruitment of new talent is lagging. AAR’s Pathways program stresses working with two-year educational institutions near its domestic repair stations, updating government certification procedures, and alerting prospective employees to the benefits of a career in aviation support. I have written a commentary for ForbesĀ here.
