Key players in this dynamic venture include Cessna Corporation, Sedgwick County, the City of Wichita, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and a variety of social service agencies. The willingness of Cessna to undertake this major commitment significantly contributed to the success of this project. This approach was spearheaded from the top of the organization as a means to give something back to the community, beyond the regular United Way activities. There are four unique elements of the training program that exist which will contribute to its success. Program length is tailored to the individual trainees.
Counseling is provided throughout.
Wages and benefits are provided during training, and employment is provided upon graduation.
