Students at the Pittsburgh campus were given an exceptional opportunity to attend a presentation from Boeing representative. Michael and Chris Parent visited the campus from the Everett, WA Boeing facility and discussed their backgrounds, positions, every day work life, and how to obtain a future career at the Boeing company. Students enjoyed an extensive technical presentation and were highly involved in a great conversation afterwards.

Hagerstown Branch Campus Student,  Adam Keuler, is the 2012 NBAA TRACS recipient for the "Citation II Maintenance Initial Course" provided at the CAE Simuflite Training Center in Dallas, TX.

"For me, aviation A & P's are unsung heroes; the skills that it takes to maintain, revive, refurbish, and care for an aircraft are not skills that can be appreciated by the general public.  The pride I feel as I prepare to enter into this is incomparable to any other experience thus far.  I have spent years rotating through a career field which has left me unsatisfied and unfulfilled; I've always believed that I had more to offer but wasn't sure exactly what it was. At 34, after delving into other opportunities, my love for aviation and aircraft  maintenance has come full-circle; this is my future....it is my passion." - Keuler

Pittsburgh Campus Student, Matthew Cavanaugh,is the 2012 NBAA Maintenance TRACS recipient for the "Composite Structures Fabrication and Damage Repair (phase 1). He will have a five day course sponsored by Abaris Training Resources.

" I plan to bring a positive attitude and strong work ethic. Once I put my time in with the company, I plan to advance in my field and help to keep the company at the top in the industry. Most importantly, I will strive to keep my work environment safe and help to support a positive atmosphere."- Cavanaugh

The 2012 PIA Technician Job Fair was a great success offering students, alumni, and the general public access to over 10 aviation and non-aviation companies. The vast selection of employers allowed students to see what career opportunities were currently available and begin the application process with each company. All who attending were excited to be able to network with companies such as Goodyear Airship Operations, Caterpillar, PSA Airlines, and Nextant Aerospace. With the continued success of the annual spring job fair, PIA continues to offer students exciting employment opportunities and also establish, develop, and strengthen employer relationships.
