Career Services
Aviation technicians are in high demand due to the industry shortage caused by current technicians reaching retirement age and less people pursuing careers in technical trade. Those positions need to be filled by well trained, safety focused aviation technicians.
The Career Services Department at Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics (PIA) takes a hands-on approach to helping you launch your career. You will meet one-on-one with your career services coordinator on a regular basis.
While the overwhelming demand for skilled aviation technicians continues to rise, your skillset does not limit you to aviation alone. PIA graduates have found exciting career opportunities within commercial aviation, medical transport, military, space and much more.
Our career services department maintains great relationships with industry employers and continues to introduce students and graduates to exciting opportunities.
