United Airlines Holdings Inc. will start a training program next week designed to diversify its workforce and head off future staff shortages.
The Calibrate program, which begins Nov. 7 in Houston, will start with a class of 16 people, preparing them for roles in mechanics, facility and ground equipment repair. United then plans to expand that work across its airport hubs and train 1,000 workers by 2026.
