New Partnership with SkyWest Takes Flight: Tuition Win for SLCC's Aviation Students

PRESS RELEASE

SkyWest offers up to $7,600 in tuition reimbursements and more to eligible SLCC students

SLCC and SkyWest Airlines have recently announced the launch of the SkyWest Aviation Maintenance Technician Pathway (AMT Pathway). This partnership provides a pathway for aspiring technicians to jump-start their training as commercial aviation Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) maintenance technicians.

Through the SkyWest AMT Pathway, SLCC students qualify for elite access to SkyWest benefits such as mentoring by experienced mechanics, enhanced company seniority, up to $4,500 in education assistance earned at credit hour benchmarks, A&P test fee reimbursements, and a final job interview after graduation.

“We are excited for this new elite partnership with Salt Lake Community College, and the additional benefits that students will enjoy as they join our AMT Pathway Program,” said Eli Mayes, SkyWest Maintenance Director. “SLCC provides a great education and training for their students, and we look forward to welcoming even more of them to SkyWest as A&P mechanics in the future."

This collaborative relationship between SLCC’s Aviation-Technology Maintenance Program and SkyWest engages the student much earlier than traditional partnerships. It allows students to focus on their education and gain hands-on experience at SLCC while enjoying mentorship and other benefits from SkyWest.

"This partnership gives our students the opportunity to get their foot in the door in a competitive market. While this helps SkyWest secure future employees, it also helps our students financially,” says Todd Baird, associate professor, Aviation Maintenance. “It’s a win-win for everyone.”
