American Airlines and Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) have begun a new partnership that provides aspiring aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs) with a direct career path to American. The memorandum of understanding guarantees top candidates from AIM’s Chicago campus with interviews at American, provides ongoing engagement with American’s team of aviation maintenance professionals and offers access to American’s maintenance facilities. Eligible students will also be offered financial assistance for certification exams and toolboxes to start their career off on the right foot.
About 4,000 students are currently pursuing certifications to become aircraft mechanics within AIM’s 21-month program.
“We are thrilled to be extending our relationship with American Airlines and providing a direct pathway to employment for our students,” said Joel English, Executive Vice President for AIM. “Our goal is to be an agent of personal and professional transition for our students, as well as a solution for the workforce needs of the airlines and aircraft manufacturers. This direct relationship with American Airlines is a significant step forward for us and a great opportunity for our students.”
The partnership also provides American Airlines team members who are interested in becoming aviation maintenance professionals with reduced tuition rates and a waved application fee at AIM’s 14 campuses across the United States.
