Cirrus Aircraft Launches Duluth Expansion Plan, LSC Proud to Partner with Cirrus on New Opportunities for Students/Workforce |
|
Lake Superior College is proud to be a strong partner with Cirrus Aircraft! We have had many meetings over the past several months to work together on addressing workforce needs, and are excited to continue to grow our partnership as Cirrus grows. We will be announcing new grant and scholarship opportunities related to this expansion, in partnership with Cirrus and the Lake Superior College Foundation, in the coming weeks. This funding will be available for current and future students (through academic and customized training programs at LSC), who are either current Cirrus employees and/or are potentially interested in becoming Cirrus employees. This includes current and prospective students in a variety of programs from aviation, to manufacturing, auto, wiring, accounting, and much more. Details are still being finalized and work is already underway. Very exciting opportunity for Cirrus, Lake Superior College and our entire region.
We will continue to do all we can to help recruit, train and retain a pipeline of talent for Cirrus and many other industry partners throughout the region! More details to follow, including a Cirrus Day at LSC being planned for mid to late February, as we continue to work together to support workforce needs and our community partners like Cirrus.

We encourage everyone to get vaccinated and boosted, and continue to offer a $100 incentive for currrent LSC students who receive a vaccine.
As a reminder, please do not come to campus if you're feeling sick, symptomatic and/or had exposure to COVID-19. This includes those mandated under Policy 1446 to complete weekly testing on campus. If you are feeling sick or feel you may have been exposed to COVID-19, please contact your healthcare provider and/or use community testing sites rather than coming to campus for testing, as we are not set up like a community testing site. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
The most effective way we can reduce the spread of COVID-19 and avoid further restrictions is to get vaccinated. For more information and how to find a vaccine location, please visit mn.gov/covid19/.
