Tecnam has announced that it is partnering with CENFORTEC, Europe's largest aircraft maintenance technician school.
The strategic partnership is meant to bridge the gap between aviation education and the modern labor market. CENFORTEC currently trains more than 300 students and plans to use the alliance to connect its education program with the demands of the aerospace sector. The Portugal-based school will be able to expand its internship opportunities, provide hands-on experience and help students develop the essential skills for their future careers.
"Together we can create the invisible heroes of aviation," said CENFORTEC CEO André Garcia. "This partnership with Tecnam is a tremendous milestone that will give our students the real-world OEM exposure they need to excel in their careers and keep the global fleet flying safely."
