AIM is certified by the Federal\nAviation Administration (FAA) and graduates hundreds of aviation maintenance\ntechnicians every year. NBOE students\nwill be allowed to start coursework in this high-demand field involving\naircraft systems that can lead to careers as aircraft mechanics, avionics\ntechnicians, and aircraft inspectors. \n“The district continues to identify sectors with critical labor\nshortages and partners with industry professionals to provide programs and\nopportunities today, preparing our students for careers tomorrow,”\nannounced Superintendent Roger Le\u00c3\u00b3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While air traffic has not fully reached pre-pandemic levels,\nairports around the world continue to deal with labor shortages that impact\nevery level of the aviation industry. \nLast summer’s travel season was one of the worst in history. “Plagued by delays and cancellations for\nvarying reasons, this industry needs an injection of new high-skilled\nprofessionals and AIM in partnership with the Newark Board of Education is\nprepared to do just that,” shared De’Kylen Jordan, Campus Executive\nDirector of Aviation Institute of Maintenance. \n“With the recent expansion at Newark International Airport and its\nproximity to our schools, we know the opportunities are real,” added NBOE\nPresident Dawn Haynes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
