Oak Brook, IL, August 18, 2021 – LAUNCH Technical Workforce Solutions, LLC announced today they have formed a strategic partnership with Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM). The partnership establishes the guidelines for the two to collaborate on several initiatives, with the goal of better preparing graduates for careers within the aviation industry.
Through their nationwide network of campuses, Aviation Institute of Maintenance has become well-known for providing high quality, hands-on training to students through their aviation maintenance programs for over four decades. AIM operates 14 campuses around the United States, where over 4,000 students are studying to become certified aircraft technicians—over 20% of all aircraft maintenance students in America. “LAUNCH has been part of our success story for years, as they are one of the top employers who hire our graduates and put them to work at Airlines, manufacturers, and MRO’s,” said Joel English, AIM Executive Vice President. “By strategically coordinating our efforts, we will be able to create new programs to serve the aerospace industry, send graduates to work, and keep airlines flying.” With the high demand for skilled technicians found in many industries, AIM has added programs in manufacturing, welding, energy and other industries to its program offerings.
The partnership furthers LAUNCH’s efforts towards finding innovative solutions for alleviating the severe aircraft technician shortage the industry is facing. Together, LAUNCH and AIM will develop programs to provide on the job training options for new graduates, supplemental courses for those wishing to further their skills and specific curricula for military service members who are transitioning into civilian employment.

This alliance allows for new and innovative approaches to solve many of the challenges facing our industry.
