Bombardier manufactures a variety of business aircraft models, provides engineering, and aircraft maintenance services.

Bombardier has entered into an official partnership with the U.S. Army via the Partnership for Your Success (PaYS) Program, becoming the first aerospace company in Kansas to join the initiative.&nbsp;The U.S. Army describes its nationwide PaYS Program as a strategic collaboration with “a cross section of corporations, companies, and public sector agencies,” providing serving personnel with opportunities to prepare and plan for post-service employment. Under the scheme, qualified candidates are guaranteed up to five job interviews for vacant positions.
Transitioning service members will now have the opportunity to join what Bombardier describes as its “strong footprint in the U.S, anchored by five service centres in key locations across the country.” These are augmented by manufacturing facilities in Red Oak, Texas and Los Angeles, California.
Bombardier expects the partnership to be mutually beneficial: helping match skilled military personnel with civilian career opportunities whilst “[strengthening] its position as an employer of choice.” Steve Patrick, v-p of Bombardier Defense, reflected: “With the continued expansion of our U.S. operations, we look forward to welcoming highly skilled veterans into our workforce.”
