MRO services provider AAR hosted an internship graduation ceremony on Aug. 8 for the 10 high school students who spent their summer learning about aviation and career opportunities at the Company’s Oklahoma City location.

During the 10-week internship program, students participated in on-the-job training and benefited from mentorship from AAR’s team leaders. AAR and Choose Aerospace developed the high school internship program to foster interest in careers in the industry.

Levi Lentz, General Manager of AAR’s airframe MRO facility in Oklahoma City, welcomed students and parents, thanked the many partners who contributed to the program’s success, and highlighted the growth of aviation in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma Representative Stephanie Bice; Grayson Ardies, State Director of the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission; Brett Haken, State Director of Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education; and Denise Hensley, Career & Technology Coordinator for Putnam City Schools also spoke on the occasion.

“Inspiring high school students to pursue a career in the aviation industry is critical to meeting the workforce challenges that exist today,” shared Ryan Goertzen, AAR’s Vice President of Workforce Development. “Internship programs like ours create the needed pipelines to meet current and future demand for aviation maintenance technicians.”
