Clay Lacy Aviation Establishes Scholarship and Internship Program with CT Aerotech

Clay Lacy Aviation established an annual scholarship and internship program with CT Aerotech which operates a two-year Airframe Mechanics and Aircraft Maintenance Technology program in Hartford, Connecticut. 

Clay Lacy has worked with CT Aerotech, a Connecticut-based aircraft mechanics school, to develop technicians to enter the aviation industry. With a history of hiring Aerotech graduates, Clay Lacy executives – including Buddy Blackburn, SVP of the new Oxford FBO, and Chris Hand, SVP Northeast – announced a new annual scholarship and internship program for students pursuing FAA certifications as airframe and powerplant technicians, providing $16,000 in annual scholarships and $10,500 in on-the-job internships.

“We’ve established a great pipeline to support Connecticut and its economy,” said John Ryan, Principal, CT Aerotech, of the partnership and internships with Clay Lacy. “This scholarship program just further strengthens that resolve to put people here in Connecticut to work and get these jobs.”
