Textron Aviation has joined forces with the Heroes MAKE America Airframe & Powerplant certification training program.
Working in conjunction with The Manufacturing Institute, the workforce development and education affiliate of the National Association of Manufacturers, the Textron Aviation initiative will prepare active duty, transitioning service members and veterans for careers as A&Ps.
The six-week accelerated program, held at Textron Aviation’s Career & Learning Center, includes two weeks of training prep and career readiness, followed by four weeks of A&P certification training and testing.
“This comprehensive approach ensures that participants are well-prepared for their new careers,” Textron Aviation officials said.
“America faces a skills gap and our veterans are uniquely positioned to bridge that gap,” said Maggie Topping, senior vice president, Human Resources & Communications at Textron Aviation. “By supporting the Airframe and Powerplant Certification Training program, we will make a significant difference in the lives of our service members by providing a streamlined pathway to quality manufacturing jobs following their exceptional service to our country.”
The first participants of the program are already in training. Interested candidates can apply for the Heroes MAKE America A&P Certification Training program here.
