Thursday, November 19, 2009 Vermont Tech was recently certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a “School of Priority Status”, which will allow its graduates direct-hire access to jobs and internships at airports and FAA facilities throughout the United States. Under the FAA’s Airway Facilities - Collegiate Training Initiative (AF-CTI), students at approved colleges and universities are eligible for internships during their college years in specialized aviation-related fields of study.
Vermont Tech is the only college in Vermont and one of just 40 schools nationwide to be named an FAA School of Priority Status. The Vermont Tech program was first initiated in 2004. It was re-certified following a surprise visit and extensive review by the FAA.
The FAA Student Intern Program offers students a unique opportunity for degree-related work experience at airports throughout the country and for selected individuals, the potential for permanent positions in a wide range of specialties within the FAA.
