AAA USA Inc., a joint venture of Drakkar and the Daher Group, has opened a new entry-level and advanced-level training facility in Mobile. The center will boost the company’s contract labor services capacity for its clients.
AAA USA is a provider of technical workforce solutions, production engineering services and contract assembly for the aerospace, ground transportation, defense and industrial sectors.
“Our new facility’s strategic location on the U.S. central Gulf Coast is perfectly located to serve the industrial sectors in this region, and beyond,” said Perry Rucker, AAA USA vice president and chief operating officer. “Its resources and capacity enable a significant increase of throughput to support our customers’ manpower, workforce and production needs, while also positioning us to meet new requirements in the evolving marketplace.”
Included in the site are labs for electrical, structural, mechanical, quality and engineering training, along with a large classroom space. This is supplemented by an operations center that provides a major expansion of the company’s contract assembly services in response to customers’ current and future needs.
“There’s a huge gap in the American workforce today, which impacts our clients’ capabilities to meet their production targets and to attain the needed levels of quality,” Rucker said. “Our total value proposition is bringing in and training the new workforce — whether it comes from schools, from different sectors of industry or from other sources.”
The company works with schools throughout the region including the University of South Alabama, Bishop State Community College, Coastal Alabama Community College and others. Recently, the company donated a plane to Saraland High School for the school’s airframe technology program.
