Everett Community College Receives $1.5 Million for Aerospace Training and Equipment

Everett Community College (EvCC) and the Center of Excellence for Aerospace & Advanced Manufacturing at EvCC will receive more than $1.5 million in new state funding to train students for aerospace jobs.

The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges awarded $1,577,703 to EvCC to pay for faculty, curriculum design, equipment and staffing to support aerospace programs as part of a statewide effort to increase training opportunities for aerospace jobs.

"This investment will help Washington state continue to provide employers with the best-trained aerospace workforce in the world," EvCC President David Beyer said. "We are thankful for Gov. Inslee and the Legislature's support for aerospace education and training."
 
EvCC is one of 21 community and technical colleges receiving funding to increase their student capacity in high-demand aerospace programs. An important element of the state Legislature's package to guarantee the Boeing 777X would be built in the state, the $8 million in funding will create positions for more than 1,000 students across the state. The college programs will support a wide variety of specialties like machining and composite materials manufacturing. Read more...
