Middle Georgia State University (MGA) is partnering with the Griffin Region College and Career Academy (GRCCA) to offer Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) dual-enrollment classes to high school students. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently approved the partnership, which launched on August 1 when the first cohort of high school students begins the general curriculum portion of the program. GRCCA serves high school students from Spalding, Butts and Pike counties providing career and technical education training as well as dual-enrollment opportunities.
"MGA’s School of Aviation is excited to partner with GRCCA. Aircraft maintenance is a vital part of Georgia’s aviation industry. It is essential that we continuously form partnerships that offer a great career path to more students and help fill this critical workforce need," stated Middle Georgia State University School of Aviation Dean Adon Clark.
