Core Plus Aerospace serves as a bridge that connects potential workers with eager employers . Chuol explains , “ The key is that [ students ] are graduating with options and we have the freedom to choose what we want to do next .”
Boeing , which sponsors Core Plus Aerospace , designed the program classes based on the needs within its own workforce . Students who participate in Core Plus Aerospace are trained and evaluated by skilled professionals , many from Boeing . This helps students with networking and career preparation , as well as exposure to potential employers . Chuol is one of hundreds of Core Plus Aerospace graduates who earned a fulltime position at Boeing after graduation .
“ I ’ ve been with the company for three years now ,” Chuol said . “ Basically my job is to ensure that a work area is safe to work in . The other part is storage , and here in Moses Lake , we have about 170 airplanes we have to maintain .”
