International Aerotech Academy selected by Amazon as an education partner

International Aerotech Academy, in Lakeland, has been selected as an education partner for Amazon’s Career Choice program, providing Amazon’s hourly employees access to its FAA 147 certified Aircraft Maintenance Technician training program to become licensed aircraft mechanics.

“The program will allow eligible Amazon employees to train and become FAA-licensed airframe and powerplant maintenance professionals at a time when airlines and the aviation industry are experiencing a severe shortage of maintenance professionals,” said Steven Markhoff, president and chief operating officer of International AeroTech Academy, in a statement.

The academy is part of a group of aviation companies that includes an FAA-certificated charter airline, an international flight academy and an FAA-certificated maintenance repair station.
