Constant Aviation has partnered with Western Technical College of El Paso, Texas, as part of an effort to bolster the MRO provider’s workforce planning and recruiting. Under the partnership, Western Tech graduates will be able to transition to Constant Aviation, where they can earn their FAA certifications while working for the company.

The new partnership comes as demand for Cleveland-based Constant’s MRO services increases. This year, Constant has expanded its AOG mobile response network by more than 15 percent and is actively recruiting for positions such as avionics, maintenance, paint, and wire harness technicians.

“Western Tech’s curriculums are perfectly suited as a head start to our apprentice programs,” said Constant Aviation head of workforce development Jim Yarborough. “The quality instructors at Western Tech, the curriculum, and the program’s high standards lend themselves to creating skilled technicians with outstanding earnings potential in a meaningful career.”
