November 3, 2013 |
 The
community is invited to come celebrate with
North Idaho College the opening of a new
Aerospace Center for excellence at a ribbon
cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Thursday, November 7
at 1845 Dakota Avenue in Hayden.
Idaho Governor Butch Otter and NIC President Joe
Dunlap will speak at the event, which is free
and open to the public.
The center will be open for tours from 9 to
11:30 a.m.
With nearly $3 million in federal grant money
that NIC received in fall of 2012, NIC opened
classes at the center this fall – less than a
year since the grant was awarded.
NIC is the only college in Idaho to receive
grant funding from the Trade Adjustment
Assistance Community College and Career Training
initiative, which was designed to promote skills
development and employment opportunities with an
emphasis on veterans and displaced workers.
The core curriculum is in the areas of general
aviation, airframe composites and
non-destructive testing, as well an expansion of
NIC’s current machining program.
The public is encouraged to attend. Refreshments
will be served by NIC Culinary Arts students.
