Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose/Scope: The project is anticipated to provide a total building space in the range of 30,000 to 45,000 gross SF. The total gross building space includes classrooms, offices, shops/tech areas, storage, hangar space, and general building facilities. Because it was determined that some of the building areas may be two story, the building footprint is estimated at 25,000 SF.
Activities to be performed: The project is intended to educate up to 150 high school students and adults each year. The technical center will house aviation for 11th and 12th graders, as well as the adult program that finishes the airframe and powerplant training.
Expected outcomes: The impact of this project is the ability to provide a high standard career and technical education for the region's high school students and adults. Educating and training the next generation of aviation technicians in airframe & powerplant, avionics, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) is an investment in our future workforce and will help address Vermont's workforce labor shortage and skills gap in civil and commercial aviation and aerospace manufacturing.
Intended beneficiaries: Graduates will be able to enter careers in commercial, military, government, and private aviation. Graduates will be able to work in the Vermont airport facilities and replace a generation that is on the verge of retirement across the state. Graduates will also be able to contribute to ground transportation systems and associated industries. These students will also use connections with the Vermont College System to gain higher degrees and qualifications in these fields. Additional impacts on the local economy include creating a next generation workforce, and, with this project, Vermont will be able to retain and propel Vermont's combined $2 billion aerospace and aviation industry forward with graduates ready to apply their relevant skills and capabilities with an array of employers.
Subrecipient activities: Non identified.
