Overview
Our proposal was the culmination of work that began months ago.
This pathway is one of several we anticipate for Rockingham County
Schools (RCS) students in partnership with Rockingham Community
College (RCC). We began our project looking for ways to get students
into high wage, high demand, and high skill jobs. Our initial discussion
took place at RCS with members of business and industry, county
government, RCC employees and RCS employees. The talks began
with a discussion centered on how to close the skills gap and meet the
employee need of business and industry.
Even though we made great strides in the first meetings, we never were
able to establish a framework to address our challenges and what we
felt was the solution to our problem. Two different meetings later, we
seemed to discover the magic answer – a pathway in aviation
machining.
