Peacock Partners With CAE

Friday afternoon was a high flying day at Peacock Collegiate High School in Moose Jaw as the school signed a new partnership agreement with CAE.

CAE is a global leader in aviation training, defense and security, and in the healthcare market.  Last year they acquired Bombardier’s military aviation business and since that time has been training pilots at 15 Wing south of Moose Jaw.

The partnership between Peacock and CAE in many ways is an extension of the existing agreement that the school had with Bombardier to collaborate on the construction of ejection seat maintenance tooling.

Under this new agreement, students will be working this year to create a device that improves ergonomics for technicians working on the explosion systems of ejection seats.  The work will involve students in computer design, machining, mechanics, and welding.

The program includes not only design and construction work but also job shadows and career explorations for students with CAE.
