have taken part in the return to service program. They get to spend a couple of weeks at the airline's facility to get a good feel for what this career path is like. It's a great program that more companies should get involved with. Avionics News: Do you partner with local industry, and if so, how is it working? Anderson: Without the direction from industry, there would not be an avionics program. It has been helpful. We hope more of the local industry will participate in the future. Avionics News: Why are students coming to your school? Do you have any programs to actively recruit new avionics students? Anderson: We are currently brainstorming on how best to get the word out to potential students. Currently, there are no other programs like ours here in Utah and only a couple of surrounding states have a dedicated avionics training program. Avionics News: What are you hearing from industry on your placements and your programs about the skill levels of your graduates? Anderson: We haven't received feedback other than from students who have taken classes. I had one student who wished he could have taken the classes 25 years ago and still would like a refresher course every couple of years. q To learn more about Salt Lake Community College, visit slcc.edu.
