Placement

AT Placement Services

The Aviation Technology department facilitates AT students with placement assistance.  Employment, internship, and cooperative education opportunities are posted on the Job Board in the south hall on the 2nd floor of the AT building.  These opportunities are also sent to students via targeted e-mail.

Each fall, the Aviation Technology Career Fair is held.  All students, from freshman to senior, are urged to attend.  During the spring semester, a reception with the AT Industrial Advisory Board allows students to interact informally with industry leaders.

Faculty and the academic advisors play an important role in guiding students into the workplace with their network of contacts, many of which are alumni.
