An 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 graduate is flying high after winning gold at the 2021 Aero Skills Tournament in Kelowna.
Desarae Craig currently works at KF Aerospace as a structures technician, but before she got there, she was an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer 鈥 Structures (AME-S) student at 香港六合彩开奖结果查询. Since graduating in October 2020, her work at KF has included converting old passenger planes into cargo planes, using everything that was taught during her program.
鈥淎ll the skills I learned have helped me so far,鈥 Craig says. 鈥淓verything we learn in school applies in some way or form in your working life, because they鈥檙e all relevant.鈥
So when the Aero Skills Tournament rolled around, she says she felt ready to participate.
The Aero Skills Tournament is a U.S. and Canada-based aircraft skills competition, developed by Aircraft Technologies Group (ATG). Jay Logie is the founder of ATG and he says the goal of the competition has always been to generate interest in structures, mechanics, avionics and composites.
The competition features solo and team events, where participants show off their skills through various tasks including drilling, riveting and assembling structures. Overall, it showcases to the audience how the work is done, and how well the participants do their tasks under pressure.
鈥淭here isn鈥檛 anything like this in the world right now,鈥 Logie says. 鈥淓verybody who participates walks away excited and ready to learn more and do more.鈥
He says Craig won the tournament because of the quality of her work. Logie says scores are based on quality of work (60 per cent) and the time a participant takes to do the work (40 per cent). If two participants end up in a tie, the winner is determined based on their quality score.
鈥淒esarae competed with the other juniors. She took a little longer than the others. She took her time to work on her quality, but it paid off in the end,鈥 he says, adding it wasn鈥檛 a surprise that an 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 graduate placed in the tournament this year.
鈥淲e鈥檝e found that people who go through 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 learn their skills really well and it鈥檚 always evident when they compete in Aero Skills,鈥 he says.
Craig says the win is a beginner鈥檚 validation for her, confirming that the work she produces is good quality and encourages her to keep going.
鈥淚 would really like to see girls get into this,鈥 she says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a fun, fast-paced industry and there are new tasks every day and you鈥檙e always learning. I hope my presence and win inspires someone to get into this industry too.鈥
