Mooney Hires 45 New Employees

Seven also accepted into new apprentice training program

Hank Engel, HR director for Mooney Airplane Company, has announced the recent addition of 45 new individuals to its employee roster.  In addition, the company has filled seven positions in its newly launched apprentice training program.

The 45 new employees will fill such roles as welders, sheet metal fabricators, avionics technicians, interior installers and more.  Nine of the 20 positions were administrative roles added within the sales department.

"We have recently experienced an increased production demand, which prompted the addition of the 45 positions," Engel said.  "In addition, the launch of Mooney's new business plan created the need for more help to support aggressive sales goals.  We are expecting a few more retirements in the next few months and plan to fill those positions immediately, as well."

Mooney gave seven people the opportunity to join its apprenticeship program, which launched in late April 2004.  Approved by the U.S. Department of Labor, the program offers individuals two years of apprentice training in order to earn their Aircraft and Power Plant (AP&P) license, which certifies them to service both the aircraft and its engine.  Apprentices work five days a week, eight hours a day under the supervision of an experienced craftsman.  Each apprentice rotates throughout the factory every three to six months in order to learn the entire system.  Following the two-year training, they are placed within Mooney in a full-time position.

"While this is a brand new program, we are excited about our first round of apprentices," Engel said.  "We plan to give them a truly well-rounded experience during their two-year study in order to give them every opportunity to excel in their future aviation endeavors."
