Delta Airlines Announces Partnership with CGCC to Promote Growing Airline Career Field

Chandler-Gilbert Community College School of Aviation is proud to announce a partnership with Delta Airlines to promote its Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT) training program. CGCC was one of 38 AMT schools nationwide to be selected by the airline to help meet the growing demand for highly qualified AMTs in the airline industry. AMTs keep aircraft in safe flying condition by servicing, repairing and overhauling aircraft and aircraft components while following detailed federal regulations set by the Federal Aviation Administration.

 “This partnership with Delta will give our program recognition as one of the top schools in the nation and will enhance the quality of student education,” said Eric Snyder, Aviation and Applied Technology Division Chair at CGCC. “Working with Delta Airlines will let students and the industry know we are a top player in training aircraft mechanics. Our instructors and lab techs bring a lot of experience to our program and are committed to providing students with a stellar education.”

This partnership will benefit CGCC aviation students by gaining Delta as a resource for continuous improvement of the AMT program along with Delta’s assistance with marketing the program to prospective students to help each new cohort be full of the best and brightest. Additionally, partnering with Delta will broaden access to the benefits of AMT careers available within the global aviation industry.

“We are honored Delta selected CGCC as one of their AMT partners and look forward to our growing partnership,” said Snyder. “We take pride in our program and the knowledge we offer students to help them gain employment with an airline and have successful careers.”
