Joel A. English, President
Congratulations on your decision to launch your career at Aviation Institute of Maintenance. Founded in 1969, our institution is steeped in a tradition of career education and workforce development. Our programs are designed with an experienced group of industry leaders to make sure that we are preparing students for today’s workplace, and our campuses are built to support budding professionals within the Aviation industry and the other fields we serve.
I am particularly proud of our faculty, who will be teaching you over the following semesters of your education. Our faculty members are hand selected as seasoned veterans from the field for which you are preparing. In order to teach at AIM, faculty members must have years of professional work in business and industry. Your instructors will bring wisdom, guidance, and practical scenarios directly from the airplane hangars, workshops, and other professional work environments in which they served, assuring that you will be prepared both theoretically and practically to become a professional within your chosen career field.
Our campuses benefit from relationships with national and international airlines, local maintenance facilities, repair shops, and other businesses who employ our graduates. As you near graduation, you will work one-on-one with a Career Services Coordinator who will help you explore job opportunities that fit your interest. I also think you’ll appreciate our campus facilities, which include Veterans’ resources, a Student Lounge, an innovative Learning Resource Center, a hands-on aircraft hangar that simulate the working environment, a variety of technological resources, and several other features that are designed for your success.
I’m glad you have chosen to join our academic community, and I look forward to watching you develop your career within our institution.
Sincerely,
Dr. Joel A. English, President
