Airborne Maintenance & Engineering Services Joins DoW SkillBridge Program
Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (ATSG) today announced that its subsidiary Airborne Maintenance & Engineering Services (Airborne) in Wilmington, Ohio, and Tampa, Fla., has joined the U.S. Department of War SkillBridge program.
SkillBridge provides eligible active-duty service members the opportunity to gain civilian work experience during the final months of military service, helping ease the transition into post-military careers.
Through the program, participants at Airborne will gain hands-on experience in commercial aircraft maintenance while working alongside experienced aviation professionals. Participants also may have the opportunity to continue their careers with ATSG through AirborneTech, the company's earn-while-you-learn aircraft maintenance technician training program.
"The future of aviation depends on our ability to develop and attract exceptional talent," said Greg Mays, president and chief executive officer of Air Transport Services Group. "The men and women leaving military service possess the technical expertise, discipline and leadership our industry needs. By joining the SkillBridge program, we're creating another pathway for those individuals to continue serving in a new capacity while strengthening ATSG's workforce for the future."
