Building Future Workforce Through Hands-On Learning Experiences
Textron Aviation has launched Kansas’ first aviation youth apprenticeship program, providing high school students with paid, hands-on learning experiences in aviation. The program, developed in collaboration with educational institutions and workforce organizations, offers three state-registered apprenticeships in Airframe & Powerplant, Avionics, and Engine Buildup. Participants earn credentials and industry-recognized certifications, preparing them for long-term careers in aviation. This initiative was first reported by Cessna, a Textron Aviation company.
