Grand Forks, N.D. (AP) The University of North Dakota has established a partnership to assist student pilots land jobs in Skywest Airlines.
The university says aviation students who meet certain requirements including having a commercial pilot license will be eligible to participate in the Skywest Pilot Cadet Program.
The school and the airline will mentor students. The cadets will also receive a retained hire date and may have opportunities to participate in Skywest recruiting events.
Students who complete the program will not have a guaranteed job, but they will be given a conditional offer of employment and are guaranteed a final interview for a first officer position at Skywest Airlines.
