Epic Flight Academy is partnering with FEAM Maintenance/Engineering on a new aircraft mechanic training program.
Set to launch in February 2022, the program will offer students financial assistance while in training, according to company officials.
Students will first interview with FEAM, a leader in MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) in the United States and Europe with 30 years in business and more than 1,000 employees at 31 locations.
If accepted, they will receive a conditional letter of hire and FEAM will provide them with tuition assistance.
Students will also have the opportunity to work as an apprentice at the FEAM Miami location where they will get experience with Boeing and Airbus aircraft, officials noted.
Students accepted into the Epic-FEAM Program will be provided $7,500 in financial assistance the first year and an additional $7,500 the second year and have the opportunity to work with FEAM for three years — and longer if desired.
Aircraft mechanic classes start at Epic three times per year. The program runs for 24 months.
Students need to apply at least one month in advance to secure their spot, according to officials.
