Being an aircraft maintenance technician means being a part of a team. And for teams to function in our fast-paced critical profession, we need to be able to communicate effectively. This course teaches aviation maintenance technicians, supervisors, and managers barrier-breaking communication strategies, tenants of leadership within various roles, and the multitude of differences between the values, goals, and communication styles of the four different generations in today’s workforce.
Description
Program Contents
The Modern Maintenance Communications course is a four-module, 4-hour accredited and interactive human factors training program that challenges aviation maintenance technicians and managers to understand the crucial relationships between communications, leadership, and trust, and how they are crucial in establishing a ”just culture” in the maintenance environment. The course starts with a refresher on the basics of effective communications and the barriers that could impede communications on every task, every job, and during shift handovers. Lesson 2 examines the basic tenants of leadership, leading oneself, and influencing others. Lesson 3 explores the different generations that exist in today’s workforce and the communications and leadership challenges/opportunities they bring. We wrap up the course by examining the important relationship between trust, communications, and leadership and how they are crucial to establishing a “just culture” in the maintenance environment.
