The Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ District is now offering Aircraft Maintenance Engineer as one of the trades programs available to students.Â
Aircraft Maintenance Engineer is one of many trades programs open to students in the district, although, noted Brad Dingler, trades and apprenticeships coordinator with SD42, seats are limited.Â
He said the SD42 trades training department wants to expand opportunities for students in every avenue and are moving into more technical trades.Â
“We want to allow students to give them a skill set that makes them marketable individuals. Individuals that have something to offer beyond a Dogwood Certificate,” he said.
Not only will they have a Dogwood when they graduate, but they will also have specialized training in whatever field that they want, he added.
Aircraft maintenance is Transport Canada certified.Â
