LAS
VEGAS, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - (NYSE: CAE)
(TSX: CAE) – CAE today announced at the NBAA Business Aviation
Conference and Exhibition the launch of its innovative Master
Technician Program for organizations and individuals who seek to
attain the highest standards of technical excellence and
professionalism in business aircraft maintenance. The new program
builds on CAE's previous Master Technician program by offering
technicians the flexibility to enhance their skills and
competencies along two distinct tracks: Specialist and People
Leader.
The new Master Technician Program addresses the need for
independent certification of technical and leadership skills as the
industry faces unprecedented demand for aircraft maintenance
technicians. CAE's 2023 Aviation Talent Forecast predicts a
need for 402,000 new maintenance technicians industrywide over the
next 10 years – 74,000 in business aviation.
"The CAE Master Technician program gives technicians two
structured paths to build their skills and advance along a career
path, recognizing competency development, not just
aircraft-specific training events to bring them closer to
their ideal career," said Alexandre
Prevost, CAE's Division President, Business Aviation and
Helicopter Training. "As a large proportion of the existing
aircraft maintenance technician population approaches retirement
age, the Master Technician Program addresses the challenge of
developing the next generation of professionals and ensuring they
have the skills and knowledge needed to keep the industry flying
safely."
The new program provides trainees access to a wide array of
skill enhancement and training to advance their skills together
with multiple pathways to becoming a Master Technician, including a
Specialist track and a People Leader track. With three levels of
achievement – Certified, Advanced and Master – trainees can reach a
Master Technician status in less time than in previous Master
Technician career development programs.
