Duncan Aviation has received U.S. Department of Labor approval to offer a powerplant apprenticeship program and will begin offering it to eight full-time technicians at the Lincoln, Nebraska-based MRO provider. The effort follows a similar one to establish an airframe apprenticeship program last year to stem the effects of an expected shortage of aircraft mechanics.
