American Airlines has partnered with Tulsa Tech, providing students at the latter's aviation maintenance technology programme with over 3,000 new industry mentors. Students have direct access to the airline's Tulsa-based aviation maintenance technicians through ongoing engagement opportunities at the carrier's maintenance base and on campus.
Additionally, top-performing students will secure guaranteed interviews for open positions at American.
""American’s Tech Ops – Tulsa maintenance base is the largest commercial aviation maintenance facility in the world and has been the backbone of our base maintenance program since 1946,"" said American vice president of base maintenance Greg Emerson. ""Having access to top local talent from Tulsa Tech ensures that work will continue for generations to come.""
Tulsa Tech superintendent and CEO Steve Tiger commented, ""We extend our heartfelt gratitude for our strong partnership in workforce development and training with American Airlines.""
American also donated several aircraft parts including an auxiliary power unit, four oxygen generators, a digital flight computer and a flow control valve during the event at the school’s Riverside campus. The parts will provide students with relevant, hand-on resources for their students.
