PERSONAL PROFILES
"I knew I wanted to risk it,
and I knew I would land on my feet"
A conversation with Aviation Maintenance Technology
student Jerome Cadelina



When twenty-four-year-old Jerome Cadelina attended the Port Jobs Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT)
orientation at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) in January 2019 he didn't know his life was about to get a
lot busier. At the time Jerome was working 25 hours a week as a ramp agent for Delta Airlines. Though he liked the
job he had held for two years, he knew he was ready to try something new.
Beam forward to 2021.
Today, Jerome is working 40 hours a week and earning $8.00 more per hour. He is working from 9:00pm - 7:00am
for Delta Airlines as an Aircraft Support Mechanic and attending school full-time where he is enrolled in the South
Seattle College two-year Aviation Maintenance Technology program, attending school from 7:00am  1:00pm. As
Jerome described it, "All my senses  eyes, heart, brain, ears, everything is about airplanes and working at the
airport. I know I am where I want and am meant to be."
"It all started," Jerome said, "When a co-worker told me to go to the AMT orientation that Port Jobs was hosting at
the airport. That is where I first learned about AMT jobs and had an opportunity to meet some Delta employees
doing this kind of work. I also heard about the Alaska Airlines/Airport University Scholarship program that Port Jobs
had in place to help airport workers advance in their careers. Soon after the AMT orientation I submitted my own
application to Port Jobs for a scholarship, where I expressed my interest in becoming an AMT. That scholarship
resulted in my attending the AMT program. It also gave me a leg up when applying for the Aircraft Support
Mechanic job and was a big reason I got hired. "
"Timing is everything." As Jerome saw it, "I was in the right place at the right time. The opportunities and
information were provided for me by Airport Jobs, and I grabbed them."
Jerome said he loved the idea of being an AMT because he got to use critical thinking and decision-making skills
and would be using problem solving skills in his everyday work. He added that along with the AMT certifications and
licenses he expected to earn in 2022 he would also be earning an AA degree for his current educational efforts.
Jerome summed up his career journey noting, "I am on a great adventure. I like to risk and push myself. Like when I
did my first parachute jump last year. The ride was exciting, but I knew I wanted to risk it, and I knew I would land on
my feet."

QUOTES
I am so grateful for your generosity and support. If it weren't for the supportive people at Airport Jobs, I
probably wouldn't be attending school this Spring. I'm glad I can finally FINISH what I started. I w ill use
every cent of scholarships to pay forward to my future. Thank you so much for helping airport
employees with their careers!
Alaska Airlines-Airport University scholarship recipient and Delta Air Lines employee

Good news, I got the job! [Airport Jobs] is ready for me whenever I need your help. I really appreciate
your encouragement and the free resources you offer. Thank you so much!
Airport Jobs client and VIP Hospitality employee

I want to thank you and your team for all you have done for me. For letting me to come in use the
computer to take [Airport University] classes in career success and computers. I learned a lot. Mostly, I
am grateful I got the job at SeaTac Airport. I appreciate your time, your experience your knowledge you
shared with me.
Airport Jobs client and UNIFI employee

I like to think about all the gifts I've been given over the last year. I wanted you to know that I count my
education and the chance for growth over the last year as a very special gift that each one of you has
had a part in giving to me through Airport University.
Airport University student and Alaska Airlines employee

I'm a beneficiary of your unending support, drive and encouragements. I wouldn't be a student at Sou th
Seattle College if it wasn't for you. I wouldn't be a beneficiary of Alaska Airlines scholarship program.
Continue being the light at the end of the tunnel for people who come to Airport Jobs. Thank you so
much for the support.
Alaska Airlines-Airport University scholarship recipient and Integrated Deicing Services employee

"I tell our students, the Port economy is like a city that offers a multitude of career opportunities. I
encourage them to think about all the different types of jobs a person can get on a cruise ship or at an
airport, and how these venues need to hire and employ people with a variety of different skill sets.
Partnerships like this [with Port Jobs] expand students' notion of the big picture  of where they fit in,
and where they contribute to the workforce."
