Boeing is Adding Workers

By brian

Boeing is retooling with younger manufacturing workers.  Right now 25% of Boeing’s workforce is eligible for retirement.  Another 25% will be within the next five years.  As a result, Boeing and other aerospace companies in the PNW have teamed with Edmonds Community College to provide a twelve week course to prepare the next generation for aerospace manufacturing and assembly.  The program is called the Washington Aerospace Training & Research Center (WATR).

To learn more, go to http://washingtonaerospace.com.  The course lasts twelve weeks with part of it online and the other part in the classroom and lab.  Students learn about drilling, riveting, wiring, and how to operate tools and complete assembly paperwork.  Students graduate with two valuable certifications.  The cost for the course is $4800 and is eligible for a student loan.

This is a fantastic opportunity for some people who are not afraid of some training and hard work.
