The National Center for Aviation Training’s managing partner, Wichita Area Technical College (WATC), is serving as the lead institution for the National Aviation Consortium project, a $15M U.S. Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Community College and Career Training Grant. Consortium partners include lead colleges from Oklahoma, North Carolina, Washington, and Indiana. The consortium is committed to prioritizing the alignment of education and workforce to meet the job demand for the aerospace and defense industry. The consortium’s evidence- based workforce development plan will pave the way for TAA-impacted workers and other qualified candidates in our communities to retool and retrain for high-skill, high-wage employment opportunities in aviation.
