Congratulations Laimen Michel, one of Rise Air’s apprentices. He has passed his final Transport Canada exams and is now a licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
While we celebrate the successes of all team members, Laimen’s story deserves special mention because it is truly a “local” success story.
Raised in Pelican Narrows, Laimen came to Rise Air through our collaboration with SIIT and their Aircraft Maintenance Engineering program.
Chris Samoila, Rise Air’s Quality Assurance Manager said “Laimen joined our Prince Albert group in 2018 and he has always been a pleasure to work with. Now licenced, we are currently processing the first of his ACAs (Aircraft Certification Authority), a de Havilland Canada Twin Otter and a Beechcraft King Air.
He has more than proven his competency and technical skill during his apprenticeship with us. We look forward to his further growth with us, and his taking on enhanced responsibilities.
The crews at Rise Air in Prince Albert and across our bases are very proud of him as he is the first SIIT graduate we have had here who has progressed from apprenticeship to becoming licenced.
We look forward to the success of others in our group who have followed a path similar to Laimen’s and building on this method of recruiting highly skilled members for our maintenance group”.
