The Aeronautical Repair Station Association (ARSA) launched AeroJobs.org, a web-based recruitment tool to help the aviation community find technically skilled applicants. The site is the product of a new partnership between ARSA and RealMatch, an online-recruiting services provider.

Through TheJobNetwork, AeroJobs.org will allow aviation businesses to reach millions of job seekers on the web and through social media. Unlike many other job sites, AeroJobs.org matches jobs and candidates based on their technical skills, which will open the door for technicians from other industries to find and begin careers in aviation.

“ARSA’s members have consistently cited the skilled worker shortage as the greatest strategic threat to the aviation maintenance industry,” said Christian Klein, ARSA executive vice president. “As the aviation market keeps expanding—Boeing’s 2015 Outlook forecasts more than one million new jobs to fill in the next 20 years—AeroJobs.org will help repair stations and other aviation employers compete for technical talent.”

ARSA is providing AeroJobs.org as part of an overall broader advocacy for improving workforce policy including collaboration with the Aviation Technician Education Council and membership on the STEM Education Coalition’s Leadership Council.
