Bombardier yesterday opened a maintenance technician training center in Wichita just weeks after upgrading a wheel and tire shop, marking a combined $50 million investment at the site. Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, Lt. Gov. David Toland, Bombardier senior leaders, and industry stakeholders gathered to christen the new facility.

The North American Learning Center will initially help standardize training for new-hire maintenance technicians at Bombardier’s 10 U.S. service centers. Bombardier told AIN that courses for advanced maintenance training and interior removal and installation are likely to be added later at the center. The company expects roughly 250 new-hires to go through two-week courses there over the next year.
