PLYMOUTH – Ever wonder about what it would be like to have a career in aviation?
The Cape Cod Community College Aviation Maintenance Technology Program is hosting a public Open House on Thursday at its Plymouth Airport Education Center to celebrate STEM Week. It marks the first time the public has been invited to view the state-of-the-art facility.
This free event gives students, parents, educators, and aviation enthusiasts the opportunity to tour the AMT hangars and classrooms while learning how the next generation of aviation technicians are trained.
A presentation will take place every hour with a tour of the multi-hangar facility. Guests will be able to work some of the training equipment, such as the hydraulic landing gear, flap training board and the turbine engine simulator. Tours also include demonstrations on the virtual welding and painting simulators.
Classes will be in session, allowing attendees the opportunity to see instructors and students in the classroom.
Guests will have the opportunity to talk with an admissions representative who can answer questions about courses, future employability, housing options, costs, academic support services, financial aid and scholarships. Refreshments will also be available. Attendees can even take photos of themselves in a full-size model of a jet pack!
