STS Aviation Services Launches State-Registered A&P Apprenticeship Program in Florida

Building the next generation of aviation professionals starts with opportunity, and at STS Aviation Services, that opportunity just became official.

Our team is proud to announce that its U.S. Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic Apprenticeship Program has been formally registered and approved by the State of Florida under program number 2026 FL 137478.

This marks an important step forward in our long-term commitment to workforce development and continued growth at our Melbourne, Florida facility. Through this new program, STS will train and mentor aspiring A&P mechanics through a minimum of two and a half years of classroom instruction and hands-on experience. Apprentices will learn from seasoned technicians while gaining the technical and professional foundation needed for a successful career in aircraft maintenance.

“This program allows us to grow our team organically,” said John Wing, Senior Vice President, General Manager, and Accountable Manager for STS Aviation Services U.S. “It represents the culmination of a lot of hard work from our HR, Training, and Quality teams, and it positions us to help shape the future of our industry right here in Florida.”

Approved by the Florida Department of Education’s Division of Career and Adult Education, this apprenticeship program aligns with the state’s mission to make Florida number one in the nation for workforce education by 2030. The program provides a structured pathway for apprentices to develop their skills, earn a wage, and build a meaningful aviation career while supporting the broader goals of the STS organization.

This milestone is about more than training mechanics. It is about building careers, strengthening our community, and investing in the people who will define the future of aviation.
