Hello all, first post here. I am currently finishing my last 2 months at an ATO for structural repair work in London, ON. Unfortunately there are not 20+ opening in London for the whole class so some of us will have to look at work else where. I'm a young guy and haven't had many dealings with this sort of thing and was hoping for some advice on finding work out of town. One of my main concerns is how do interviews work in this situation? I can't afford to road trip all over Canada going to interviews, but some how that seems an odd expectation of HR people too. After all, if I had the money to do that, I wouldn't be looking for work!

Thanks for any advice or help guys, I really need to find work.

Viking
Bombardier
Cascades
Kelowna Flightcraft
Dornier (composites)

Phone 'em.

I've got them listed straight from TC's search along with many other options. I'm more worried about what I need to be prepared to do if they actually call me back. Am I looking at driving all the way to BC or QC for interviews?

Hey Vox..How many grads will come out of the Structures program at Fanshawe/Sault...?

Anyone get any reply reguarding hiring @ Jazz heavy maintenance there in London..?

What do you think about the program..?

I believe we have about 25 that will graduate. I know a few people with call backs though I haven't heard specifically from where in most cases. No one has mentioned Jazz though.

As to the program, its an excellent program and opportunity. The theory classes are very thorough, and the shop portion covers what we would be doing at AMOs. Overall, I'd say anyone graduating would be a competent apprentice. We cover composites as well as sheet metal and get to work with prepregs, aramids, carbon, etc. I've really enjoyed the whole experience.

Cascade Aerospace in Abbotsford, B.C. has numerous ads out for all levels of structural techs. They also offer a relocation allowance as well. Good Luck

Cheers!!

well I've applied to cascade as well as a number of places around London. Will send out more in BC and around the GTA soon.
