Daher Aircraft and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) have renewed their joint international internship program for a third year, offering four students hands-on experience across two of the company’s major aircraft production sites in France and the U.S. The program is designed to encourage future aviation professionals by pairing selected candidates with managers, workers, pilots, and aircraft owners.
Two North American students will spend eight weeks at Daher’s headquarters and TBM production facility in Tarbes, France. Two European students will be based at the company’s Sandpoint, Idaho, operation, where Kodiak aircraft are built. All four will then assist Daher during the company’s participation at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, gaining exposure to the world’s largest fly-in and airshow.
“General aviation continues to evolve rapidly, and it’s essential that we inspire the next generation to chart its future,” said Daher Aircraft CEO Nicolas Chabbert. He added that the internship provides insight into “an industry in transformation.” GAMA president and CEO James Viola said the program’s success “demonstrates the value of exposing students to the breadth of careers in general aviation,” noting that a former intern has since joined Daher as an apprentice.
Applicants must be 21 to 24 years old; hold U.S., Canadian, or EU citizenship; and be enrolled full-time in an associate, undergraduate, or graduate program. Submissions require a resume, a cover letter, and a 40-second video. Applications are due December 28, with selections to be announced April 14 at the Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida.
