EDUCATION 36 airportbusiness October 2014 College and Bell announced their collaboration for an education curriculum to help aviation and other industrial jobs take off in northeast Tennessee. The announcement was made at the site of the college's future $35 million technology complex abutting Tri-Cities Regional Airport. Bell flew to the site in a beautiful red, white and blue helicopter—which was quite appropriate, considering that the event took place the week before July 4. The Aviation Initiative has built a hardwork- ing steering committee that looks like a "Who's Who" of local leaders from government, industry, colleges, high schools, elementary schools and airports. The Aviation Initiative includes top leaders from Northeast State Community College, Bell, Tri-Cities Regional Airport and a variety of other top community, state and area leaders. Nobody involved has been asked to donate money for the Aviation Initiative. Each partic- ipant is involved because the success of the initiative will benefit the participant. Bell will save money on recruiting and have input for courses offered by the schools. The schools will gain students. The media see economic growth which will provide them with more revenue. The airport will benefit from increased traffic. Advanced Flight Training hopes to provide flight training. Government always has an interest in more jobs and a better economy. TENNESSEE PROMISE Another important factor is the recently passed "Tennessee Promise." The Promise is that Tennessee high school graduates can go to college for two years at no cost (details can be found by searching online for Tennessee Promise). To get in, students must do the paperwork. To stay in, they must maintain satisfactory grades (a 2.0 average at a community college) and perform eight hours of civic service per school AVIATION INITIATIVE THE MISSION of the Aviation Initiative is "To promote development of aviation-related skills and knowledge through the collaboration of local academic institutions, civic leaders, government officials, corporations, communities and aviation advocates."
