Select U.S. Army reservists and students from three aviation maintenance schools have a new path to maintenance technician jobs at United Airlines.
The airline is partnering with the U.S. Army Reserve Aviation Command, as well as the National Aviation Academy, Aviation Institute of Maintenance, and Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics, to train up to 300 students per year through a new Calibrate Technician Pathway Program. As part of its military recruitment partnership with the aviation command, the airline also plans to host career fairs and provide guidance to reservists about airframe and powerplant certification programs, which the airline said would also support hiring goals for technicians of ground service equipment and facilities.
