EAGLE Career Pathway Program AAR launched our EAGLE Career Pathway Program in early 2019 to create clear pathways to career advancement for college students across the country and to fill the predicted skill gaps in aviation with multi-leveled certified aircraft mechanics. Educational institutions we work with include community colleges, high schools and youth centers located near AAR’s four U.S.-based aircraft repair stations in Miami, Oklahoma City, Indianapolis and Rockford, Illinois, and our global headquarters near Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. The program provides students with real-life work experience inside the hangar and includes job shadowing and mentoring. Students receive academic support and monitoring. Graduates of the EAGLE program have the opportunity to begin working for AAR immediately or continue the program to obtain an additional certification, including FAA airframe and powerplant (A&P), maintenance operations, management, quality control and safety. Participants are eligible for tuition reimbursement from AAR upon completion. In March 2021, AAR’s EAGLE program was recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Employment and Training Division as a nationally registered apprenticeship.
