Textron Aviation is offering paid apprenticeships in airframe and powerplant (A&P), avionics, and engine buildup to high school students starting at age 16. The manufacturer said it is the first aviation company in Kansas to offer state-registered youth apprenticeships through the Kansas Office of Apprenticeships.

Apprentices pair classroom instruction with structured on-the-job training at Textron facilities. On completion, participants earn a credential through the Kansas Office of Apprenticeships, and A&P apprentices earn airframe and powerplant certification.
