ATP Flight School Enhances Support for Alumni Careers and Training
ATP Flight School Announces Scholarship Winners
ATP Flight School has revealed the recipients of its inaugural alumni scholarship program for the year. This initiative recognizes two deserving graduates who will benefit from fully-funded advanced training courses. Among the recipients is Drake Steele, a Multi-Engine Flight Instructor at ATP’s Phoenix-Mesa Gateway training center. He has earned a scholarship to pursue the Airbus A320 Type Rating course. Alongside him, Jay Ribar, a Multi-Engine Flight Standards Instructor, has also been awarded a scholarship for the Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Program at ATP JETS.
New Quarterly Scholarship Initiative
These scholarships are part of ATP's ambitious new quarterly scholarship initiative designed to enable alumni to pursue advanced training opportunities. Every quarter, ATP alumni and instructors can apply for scholarships that cover the entire cost of noteworthy courses like the Airbus A320 Type Rating or ATP CTP program—holding a total value exceeding $15,000. This program underscores ATP's commitment to supporting its graduates in their career endeavors.
Expanding Alumni Support
In addition to the scholarship initiative, ATP is enhancing its alumni support through expanded outreach programs. This includes sponsoring up to 10 alumni each quarter to attend various industry-related conferences and events. So far this year, 30 alumni have already benefited from passes to important gatherings, including the Women in Aviation International Conference and the SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo.
Impactful Opportunities for Alumni
"These opportunities are transforming the careers of our alumni by providing direct pathways to advancement," shared Michael Arnold, Vice President of Marketing at ATP Flight School. He noted that one graduate, who attended the WAI Conference on a sponsored pass, has successfully landed three airline interviews. Another alum, who participated in SUN 'n FUN, has already secured a class date with a leading airline, showcasing ATP's continued dedication to alumni support beyond just flight training.
Partnerships to Enhance Career Preparation
In an exciting development, ATP has partnered with Spitfire Elite to give alumni exclusive discounts on major airline interview preparation services. Each month, ATP will fully sponsor two graduate alumni for this vital prep service, ensuring they are well-prepared to navigate the competitive job market.
Ongoing Commitment to Career Development
These recent initiatives further enrich ATP's offerings, which also include no-cost access to the Flight Instructor Refresher Course through King Schools. With substantial investment totaling over $750,000 in FIRC resources, ATP reinforces its commitment to fostering long-term career growth for its graduates.
Upcoming Scholarship Applications Open
Applications for the next round of Type Rating and ATP CTP scholarships are now officially open at ATPAlumni.org. This includes opportunities to receive sponsored passes for the renowned EAA AirVenture Oshkosh event, presenting yet another chance for alumni to enhance their industry connections.
