To keep up with changing times and meet the needs of the industry, the maintenance sector needs more freedom to provide technicians with real-world training and support the development of clear industry standards, according to attendees at the final Future of Aviation Maintenance Summit, held late last year at the Aviation Institute of Maintenance, Virginia Beach, Va. The purpose of the three summits was for industry stakeholders to explore technician training and discuss ways to attract new entrants into aviation maintenance careers.
According to Stan Mackiewicz, National Air Transportation Association representative for government and industry affairs, the next step is for interested parties to set up a meeting in Washington, D.C., to explore some of the summit committees’ recommendations about boosting recruiting on a local level and modifying their training programs to meet the needs of the aviation industry.
