Vermont Chamber of Commerce Today, we joined community and education leaders at the ribbon cutting of the new Burlington Aviation Education Center at Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport, a cutting-edge facility that marks a major investment in Vermont’s future workforce.
Years ago, the Vermont Chamber worked collaboratively to help secure $10 million championed by Senator Patrick Leahy. Located at Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport, the renovated facility now houses aviation, automotive, and engineering programs that will connect students directly with the jobs of tomorrow.
Steps from BETA TECHNOLOGIES, Aerodyme, and the Vermont Flight Academy, students will train in state-of-the-art labs surrounded by Vermont’s growing aerospace ecosystem.
Huge thanks to Burlington School District, Burlington Technical Center, and everyone involved in transforming this former hangar into a hub of innovation and opportunity.
Workforce development is economic development and today showed what’s possible when vision meets action.
