CT Aero Tech Students Participate in Summer Internship Program
 This summer a group of students from the
Connecticut Aero Tech School in Hartford worked as interns with the
Bombardier Aerospace Hartford Service Center technicians performing a wide
variety of maintenance tasks. This was a paid internship that spanned
approximately seven weeks over the summer. The students came away with a
greater understanding of the complex systems that make up a modern
state-of-the-art aircraft. They were very much impressed with the knowledge,
professionalism and work ethic demonstrated by the technicians they worked
with. The experience reinforced and greatly expanded the knowledge and skills
they have gained during their time in our program.
