AJAC’S VISION:
The Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee’s (AJAC) vision is to produce the most highly skilled and
trained aerospace and manufacturing craftspeople in the world, ensuring that the art of the skilled trades is not
lost. AJAC brings value to Washington State employers and residents by keeping the aerospace industry alive and
thriving, thus revealing Washington State as the world leader of extraordinary and cutting edge aerospace training.
It is the mission of AJAC that the training of apprentices shall be without discrimination based on race, sex, color,
religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status or as otherwise specified by law.
Founded in 2008 with support from aerospace employers and the Aerospace Machinists District 751.
AJAC History
The Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee (AJAC) was established in 2008 through advocacy from
aerospace employers and the Aerospace Machinists District 751. AJAC is a state-funded, nonprofit 501(c)(3)
charged with developing statewide aerospace and advanced manufacturing apprenticeship programs and creating
a pipeline into industry that includes K-12 outreach and pre-apprenticeship.
Industry Challenge
The increase in impending retirements, new emerging technologies and a
greater production demand have created challenges for building a skilled
21st century workforce and competing in a global economy.
• Pending Retirements: In 2010, 18.4% Ø of the manufacturing workforce
was 60 or older. This ratio is expected to grow to 25% Ø by 2025.
• Higher Skilled Jobs: As manufacturing technology advances, so must
the training of modern day manufacturing professionals. For example,
88% @ of CNC Programmers are projected to need some college by
2020, 63%@ will be expected to hold at least an associate degree.
• Growing Industry Demand: It is expected that the aerospace workforce
will grow by 20,000+◊ jobs between 2008-2018 to keep up with industry
demand.
