"We Teach the Foundation," Mischell Hosin, AIM. "What we teach here at AIM is actually the foundation," Mischell Hosin - AIM Admissions Representative, Mischell Hosin, one of AIM's top Admissions Representatives, shares her passion for her job at AIM and offers some tips to new and prospective students.

AIM is part of a successful group of companies, which first began in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1969 and has grown to become a network of AIM campuses across the nation. We have maintained a tradition of excellence in education and workforce development throughout the expansion over more than four decades.

AIM is well-known for providing high quality, hands-on training to our students in Aviation Maintenance programs. But as time went on, we saw other industry leaders demanding similar skills our aviation students have after graduating. To fill that need, we went beyond aviation to develop related industry technician programs.

Aviation Institute of Maintenance is committed to the education and personal enrichment of each student interested in aviation maintenance or a trade technician profession. We offer programs in aviation, maintenance, welding, and technician fields, whether it be for aircraft maintenance, maintenance technician, combination welding, industrial manufacturing, or HVAC.
