Nicholas Air has launched a strategic workforce partnership with Farmingdale State College to recruit pilots and maintenance technicians from the school’s Pasternack School of Engineering Technology aviation programs. Nicholas Air announced that it will serve as a premier employer at the FSC Job and Internship Fair on November 20.
The initiative supports the company’s long-term focus on developing a steady pipeline of flight and technical professionals for its Part 135 operations and modern fleet. In addition to seeking out second-in-command pilots who aim to advance through structured training and mentorship, the company is looking for aircraft maintenance technicians and engineers with A&P certification.
“Farmingdale State College’s aviation program consistently produces graduates with the technical acumen and professionalism that align perfectly with Nicholas Air’s culture of excellence,” said Abby Carlton, director of recruiting. “By directly engaging with the Pasternack School of Engineering Technology, we’re able to connect with the next generation of pilots and airframe and powerplant-certified professionals (A&P mechanics) who will uphold our highest standards in modern private aviation.”
