Dirt Modified Nostalgia Tour Welcomes Back Sponsor For 2018

Story By: JEFF CIGLICH / DIRT MODIFIED NOSTALGIA TOUR – ROME, NY – The Dirt Modified Nostalgia Tour is excited to announce it will once again be partnering with the Mohawk Valley Community College Airframe & Powerplant Technolgies.

Located in Rome, NY, the MVCC features a one year course, start to finish.

“ It’s no surprise there has been a lack of interest in the trades over the past few decades and the aviation industry has been hit hard as well. The entire airline industry will be affected by a lack of qualified aircraft mechanics not only in the United States but worldwide in the coming years” explains Director Walt Constantini.

“The MVCC offers a one year course and you are almost certainly guaranteed a well paying job with offers from multiple airlines before you even graduate.

Within three years you are looking at 6 figure salaries and due to the current shortage those salaries are almost certain to increase.”

“We will also be looking to promote our partnership with the DMNT throughout 2018 as we try to create awareness for our program” Constantini added.

There are few industries that foster dreams and goals like aviation. From design to construction, from maintenance to flight, aviation is an industry that has shaped the future. Demand for personal and commercial air travel has spawned jobs for trained personnel of all types – in particular, for Airframe and Powerplant Technicians.

Start your career in one year with the Airframe and Powerplant Technology program offered by Mohawk Valley Community College. It is the only community college-based aviation maintenance program in New York State and one of only a few one-year programs in the country.

The FAA-authorized program (Certificate #VXYT570K) is structured as a full-time, 40-hour-per-week training program that runs in three consecutive semesters.

During the course of 12 months, students receive 1,905 hours of FAA-approved training that prepares them to sit for the examinations required to be issued the FAA Airframe and Powerplant Certificate.
