The first graduating class of FlightPath9 has completed its course of study and entered the workforce at the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Mobile.
FlightPath9 is a workforce training program designed to provide high school seniors the skills and foundation needed for a career in aerospace.
FlightPath9 students learned everything from safety regulations to critical thinking skills, teamwork to time management, and hands-on training with specialized aircraft-manufacturing tools. After completing FlightPath9, students gained additional training in the Airbus Fast Track program, a gateway to an aerospace career without a college degree or prior experience.
