n-the-job training has long held a valued place in the
aviation industry, with aviation organizations utilizing
OJT methods ranging from informal, companyspecific
training to formal, approved apprenticeship programs
in which the apprentice receives certification or credit toward
certification at the conclusion of the program. These more formal
programs are common among aircraft manufacturers and some
large MROs and avionics shops, but
smaller organizations often struggle
to dedicate resources to the lengthy
process of developing an apprenticeship
program for vetting by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Federal Aviation
Administration, or other agencies.
Formal, approved apprenticeship programs are no longer
just for the big shops. The Aircraft Electronics Association,
along with several member companies and the Urban Institute,
developed a U.S. Department of Labor-approved CompetencyBased
Occupational Framework for Registered Apprenticeship
program for avionics technicians.
" The AEA has for decades been committed to workforce
development, " said Aaron Ward, AEA's director of operations.
" Today's workforce shortage presents unprecedented challenges
for the avionics industry due to a tight labor market and

competition from other industries. Apprenticeship programs are
valuable recruiting and retention tools. AEA-member companies
now have one more tool to recruit and train skilled workers. "
In the U.S., apprenticeships are growing as a method of
obtaining career training and education, with a 70% increase
in apprentices since 2011. AEA-member companies can now
more easily use apprenticeships as a means of recruiting and
training skilled labor.
Formal apprenticeship programs,
recognized by states or certifying
agencies such as the FAA, can take
years to fully develop and receive
appropriate accreditation. Following
the AEA apprenticeship framework
helps organizations move past these steps, providing companies
developing apprenticeships with job titles, prerequisites, and
work process schedules, as well as detailed job functions.
Bill Hanf, owner of Green Mountain Avionics in Middlebury,
Vermont, said his organization has been a proponent of on-thejob
training for years but didn't have the time or resources to
build its own apprenticeship program. Green Mountain Avionics
is now following the AEA apprenticeship program framework.
" The benefit of the AEA apprenticeship program is it adds
some guidance and structure for shops like Green Mountain
