GEORGETOWN, Delaware — ALOFT AeroArchitects has launched ALOFT Academy, an in-house, fully compensated training program designed to train the next generation of aircraft mechanics.
While the program is open to any interested individual, it is designed to develop local, high-aptitude, mechanically inclined students into fully trained aircraft mechanics, according to company officials.
The curriculum covers fundamentals, regulatory requirements, and specialized skills for structures, avionics, mechanical systems, and interiors. It will also include custom-made content, including general aerospace education, specialized courses, and training on ALOFT documents, policies, procedures, and safety requirements.
The inaugural class starts June 9, 2025, and will graduate in January 2026. The second class is slated to begin shortly after that graduation, company officials said.
Students will join ALOFT as full-time employees from the first day of class, and graduate six months later as full-time mechanics. In return for a two-year commitment to ALOFT, they will receive a fully outfitted toolbox.
