The Aerospace Training Innovation Fund is designed to foster industry-led training innovation in the BC aerospace industry. ATI will pay 50% of costs for eligible programs.
- BC-based aerospace companies in the manufacturing or maintenance, repair and overhaul sector of the industry.
- Aerospace companies with engineering and design capabilities related to maintenance and manufacturing may also apply.
- sharing (or even selling) seats in classes;
- bringing in trainers to do joint courses;
- developing in-house training capabilities and courses;
- creating opportunities for staff to continue learning and upgrading their skills throughout their careers;
- training staff and apprentices from non-traditional or underprivileged groups, or workers displaced from other industries.
- A company wishing to expand its in-house capabilities purchased a new piece of equipment. The Aerospace Training Innovation Fund helped train an in-house trainer to ensure the company could supply its own training on this equipment in the future.
- Two companies joined forces to bring in a trainer that allowed them to expand their airframe and engine certification privileges. By sharing the cost of the trainer they exhibited the type of innovative approach to training ATI seeks to support.
- A company seeking to enter a new market applied for and received funding to train up to 25 employees in a new discipline that will allow the company to compete for new contracts that it could not previously pursue.
- Wishing to expand the product line it serves, an MRO company applied to train more technicians on a particular engine and is now in a more competitive position to receive new work.
- Wanting to expand the lineup of aircraft it services, a company sought endorsement training on a new aircraft type so it could expand its business and simultaneously improve employment prospects for its staff.
