Cirrus Aircraft recently opened its newly built Talent Center in Duluth, Minnesota, which is dedicated to community engagement, talent development, and workforce innovation. The multimillion-dollar center will serve as a public-facing facility providing direct access to recruiting, technical training, and career development resources, according to the aircraft manufacturer.
“The Cirrus Talent Center represents the first touchpoint and impression many people will have with our company as a potential employer,” said Cirrus CEO Zean Nielsen. “It reflects Cirrus’ presence in our community, our commitment to delivering an exceptional team member experience, and our focus on advancing and developing operational excellence for both our teams and our aircraft owners.”
According to Cirrus, prospective applicants will be connected with Cirrus’ talent, organizational effectiveness, and learning and development teams, covering an array of career opportunities that include administrative and manufacturing positions.
The center will also be home to Cirrus’ wider talent pipeline in the region, which includes veteran hiring initiatives, a high school manufacturing internship program, and collaborations with Lake Superior College for machining and aviation maintenance.
Furthering its investment in the region, Cirrus plans to add more than 240 employees across its Duluth-based jobs in engineering, manufacturing, and corporate offices. The center will act as a gateway to these opportunities, the company said.
