Avionics News: Why are
students coming to your school?
Do you have any programs to
actively recruit new avionics
students?
Zastera: FVTC's aviation
programs have the advantage
of being located at the home of
the "world's greatest airshow,"
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. The
Oshkosh location has attracted a
few students from great distances
over the years. Our average
student already has some aviation
connection, either through prior
military service, or a friend/family
member who is already part of the
aviation industry.
Also, I believe our program is
very economical. The two-year
aircraft electronics associate degree
currently costs $11,514.20 in
tuition and fees, plus an additional
$3,000 in additional tools. That's
very affordable to our students.
Avionics News: What are
you hearing from industry on your
placements and your programs
about the skill levels of your
graduates?
Zastera: Overall, we are
getting positive feedback on
our program graduates. Our
combined A&P/avionics graduate
is probably close to the ideal new
hire in our region. We have seen
a significant jump in on-campus
visits by employers, and many of
those are conducting same-day onsite interviews.
As I announced another
employer visit to our final semester
students, one of them said, "It's
not a matter of will I get a job, but
where do I want to work?" q
