intern with Bombardier."
Bombardier performs aircraft maintenance and inspections,
specifically on its own Bombardier fleet of business jets.
During Cordero's internship, she was matched with an A&P
technician and learned on-the-job skills including running
engine tests and pulling apart bugged systems.
"It was very much learn as you go," said Cordero. "The longer
I was there, the more hands-on I became, and the more
responsibility I was given."
Cordero started her internship in July of 2017 and stayed on
through the following school year, putting in 40-hour work
weeks during the summer and working second shift while
going to school. She said Bombardier was always great about
scheduling, giving students time off to study and take exams.
"They even gave me time to study for my airframe and power
plant certificate, something that you have to do outside of
school," said Cordero.
Cordero has since transitioned from intern to full-time
employee, something she says she is incredibly pleased about.
"I love being part of the Bombardier family. Regardless of
what shift you're on, we work together towards a common
goal and when we accomplish something, we accomplish it
together," said Cordero. "In this type of work, we can't make
mistakes, and that makes each accomplishment that much
more rewarding."
The company's internship program is its way of fostering the
talent pipeline. By actively hiring and engaging young talent,
it can effectively train and expand its workforce. You can
