AAR Case Study
After experiencing 35 percent growth in
2010, global aerospace/defense company
AAR was well positioned to expand its
aircraft maintenance and manufacturing
operations, thus creating jobs. Instead,
AAR encountered hiring challenges
linked to a profound skills gap for handson, highly technical careers. With 600
unfilled positions in spring 2011, AAR’s
numerous
education
partnerships
paid off, enabling it to fill
job vacancies
and begin
rebuilding
the talent

national leaders face to face and share
with them the incredible value of CTE
in our communities and country. Visit

ACTE’s Instructor’s Academy
Professional development is one of
the key reasons career and technical
educators join ACTE. To help meet that
objective, ACTE has partnered with

Cengage Learning to provide access to
high-quality professional development
through the Instructor’s Academy. This
dynamic education portal provides access to online courses, recorded sessions,
learning modules, and more at a very
low cost. And you can participate at your
own pace, which we know is important to
educators. As educators, it is crucial that
you model what you want your students
to do. One important skill that businesses
across industries agree on is the ability
and willingness of employees to continue
to learn and enhance their skills. With
Cengage Learning, ACTE is helping you
do just that so that you can be a more effective educator. To learn more about this
member-only service, visit www.
