MRO provider Summit Aviation says it has registered its apprenticeship standards and completed an apprentice agreement with Delaware’s Department of Labor. According to Summit, a Greenwich AeroGroup company, it is the first employer to take these steps with the state of Delaware to establish a registered apprenticeship program for aviation maintenance technicians.

The apprenticeship program aims to bolster Delaware’s aviation workforce by providing hands-on training and professional development for aspiring engineers and maintenance technicians in the region.
