Vincennes Aviation and Maintenance Training Center

This week we went on our "Don't Fear the Future" field trips. One of the places we went to was the Vincennes University Aviation Training Center in Indianapolis. This was a neat place for those interested in this career. Students can attend here and learn every aspect of airplane maintenance and be ready for employment upon graduation.  The school has many different training labs where students spend weeks at a time.  They learn how take apart and put together turbine engines, how to rivet, mold and shape fiberglass, wiring for all the small parts in a plane (sprinkler systems, etc), among other things.

Students who graduate can begin a career with any airline making $23/hr and can quickly move up to earning much more than that. This is a good option for those who are mechanically inclined, as graduates are sought after in many other industries where maintenance skills are needed. Vincennes University is very affordable, as tuition is comparable to Ivy Tech Community College.  Students must be detail oriented, have good problem solving skills, and have the tenacity to study and learn all the aspects of airplane maintenance. I was really impressed with this facility and anyone who is mechanically inclined should consider getting training here.
