Real Training From Real Industry Experts
With over 40 training locations statewide, AJAC employs a cadre of industry professionals, still working full-time in the field to provide the classroom instruction to apprentices. Our instructors bring the latest tools, techniques, and workarounds from the shop floor directly into the classroom.
It’ s not just theory. It’ s real, applicable training. As Mike Hagen formerly of American Structures & Design put it,“ Everything the apprentices learn in class is actionable. Whether it ' s tolerances, technical drawings, or project management, they apply it the next day.”
Rethinking the Hiring Strategy
In a job market where everyone is competing for the same tiny pool of skilled candidates, AJAC offers a bold idea: what if the talent you need is already working for you— just waiting for the right opportunity?
“ Traditional job boards can only take you so far,” said Andrew Norman of Pexco Aerospace.“ Now is the time to rethink your recruitment strategy and take a hard look at the young adults in our very community who are eager to apply what they’ re learning in high school to the shop floor.”
Forget chasing the perfect candidate. Start building them. With AJAC, the talent you need is already in your breakroom— all they need is a pathway.
