And if you are also one of the 30,000 plus subscribers to our AMT Daily Newsletter you know you will also see a few training news items every day.
OK, before you say, hey not another email in my inbox…let me explain why we decided to do this newsletter. In the 2016 AMT Magazine Readership Survey, you, our readers told us your top two critical issues were in this order; Training on the complexity of aircraft today, and recruitment and retention of employees. This shouldn’t be a huge surprise to any of us.
Over the years I have become involved in several industry initiatives relating to aircraft maintenance education, training and workforce development, and regardless which segment of the industry or the position of the people I speak with the words training and workforce are always mentioned.
We understand how important education and training is in our industry and we decided to take additional steps to cover these critical topics.
Last year we added the Education and Training channel to our website www.aviationpros.com. Now we have a dedicated page for current news and articles relating to these topics. Just click on the Education and Training button on the home page navigation bar and start reading.
The new AMT Career Development Newsletter is designed to bring you current news and relevant articles on education, training, professional development, new technologies, tips for job seekers, and the occasion job opportunity directly to you. We plan to begin with sending the newslwtter two times each month.
It’s important to note these new offerings are not only meant for students. Although important to students and the next generation of aviation professionals, education, training, professionalism, and career development is applicable to nearly any age person working at any level in our great industry.
