Learn About Rising Tide's Aviation Maintenance Technology Pathways Program

Rising Tide is moving forward with plans for an exciting partnership next year with Cape Cod Community College (4Cs): Aviation Maintenance Technology Pathways Program.

Interested students and parents/guardians of rising juniors and seniors are invited to attend an information session via Zoom here on Monday, May 22 at 6:30 pm.

This two-year program would take place during elective blocks for a student's junior and senior year (or only the senior year, for rising seniors). Students who complete the program would be able to complete the first level of FAA certification while still in high school, and earn credit towards an AAS degree. Students would complete preliminary work at Rising Tide using a state-of-the-art "hyflex" virtual model as well as hands-on training at the Plymouth Municipal Airport hangar with real airplanes. Learn more information about the 4Cs's Aviation Maintenance Pathways Program can be found here.

If you have any questions about this program, please contact Isabella Trauttmansdorff, College & Future Planning Counselor, via email: itrauttmansdorff@risingtide.org.
