Does a career in aviation sound like the perfect path for you? Through a new partnership agreement, Southern State Community College and Great Oaks Career Campuses collaboratively offer an FAA-certified associate’s degree in Engineering: Aviation Maintenance. Classes begin Aug. 26.

To gear up for fall semester, an informational session and open house will be held in the coming weeks, one at the Laurel Oaks site, and one at the Southern State site. Those interested in the program are invited to attend either or both events.

INFORMATIONAL SESSION: 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 30, in the Corwin Nixon Aviation Building on Laurel Oaks Career Campus, 300 Oak Drive, Wilmington.

OPEN HOUSE: 3-5 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 12, in Room 207 of Southern State Community College’s North Campus, 1850 Davids Drive, Wilmington.

During either session, guests can meet with admissions and financial aid representatives, and tour the facilities. To reserve a spot, please contact Amy McClellan at 800-628-7722, ext. 2785.

The new associate’s degree in Engineering: Aviation Maintenance is designed as a six-semester track to be completed in two years. Successful completion of the program could lead to employment at an FAA-certified repair station or airline/airfreight company, in aircraft or aerospace manufacturing, and as an aviation maintenance technician, sales and service technician, and general, corporate and fixed-base aircraft operator.
