The Federal Aviation Administration announced a plan last month to hire and train over ten thousand air traffic controllers over the next decade, according to its Air Traffic Controller Workforce Plan 2013-2022.According to the plan, the FAA expects to hire 6,200 controllers over the next five years to staff its 315 air traffic control facilities and its national Command Center, with more jobs added thereafter. These facilities range from the air traffic control towers passengers commonly see at airports to radar control centers that provide air traffic control services outside the areas handled by the control towers. Some of the air traffic control towers are radar towers and some, at smaller airports, are non-radar towers. Jobs will be opening throughout the country at all levels of facilities.
If you are interested in applying, the FAA is sponsoring two virtual career fairs, January 29 and February 12 from noon to 4 pm EST in advance of a scheduled public jobs announcement at www.USAJOBS.gov some time in February.
Registration for the virtual career fair is at http://vshow.on24.com/vshow/network/registration/5492# or www.faa.gov/jobs/career_fields/aviation_careers
