The SIIT and Boeing Celebrate Grand Opening of Expanded Saskatchewan Aviation Learning Centre
The Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT) and Boeing recently celebrated the grand opening of the expanded Saskatchewan Aviation Learning Centre (SALC), marking a milestone in their long-standing partnership to advance Indigenous aerospace training and create new career opportunities for students in Saskatchewan. The expanded SALC will help increase the number of aircraft maintenance engineers in Saskatchewan, supporting the province’s aerospace sector and helping address the shortage of skilled workers across Canada’s aviation industry. The upgraded centre features modern classrooms, a specialized avionics lab and expanded hands-on training spaces designed to prepare students for careers in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering. It also supports SIIT’s new Aircraft Maintenance Engineer – Category E (AME-E) Avionics program, creating additional training opportunities for learners pursuing careers in aerospace. The expansion is supported by Boeing’s $17 million Industrial and Technological Benefits investment in SIIT’s programs, services and operations. This investment stems from the Government of Canada’s selection of the CP8A Poseidon as its Multi-Mission Aircraft. Boeing’s support for SIIT dates back to 2010, when the company first contributed to the establishment of SALC. This partnership has continued to grow, with Boeing’s investment helping expand both the centre and SIIT’s aviation training programs. The partnership between SIIT and Boeing continues to create meaningful education and career opportunities for Indigenous learners while supporting the development of a skilled and diverse workforce for Canada’s aerospace sector. |
