The results speak for themselves. Companies that collaborate with training programs see better hiring outcomes, stronger retention, and more effective onboarding. These aren ' t broad, one-sizefits-all solutions. They are focused and geared toward the real-world needs of aerospace manufacturing, including skills like composite assembly, CNC operation, mechatronics, and quality control. The outcome is a better-prepared workforce that can contribute from day one.
One real-world example stands out. David, a former 35T military intelligence systems maintainer and integrator in the Army, worked with secure communications systems throughout his service. After connecting with CAMPS at a military job fair, he entered our Military to Manufacturing( M2M) program. As a result, he enrolled in the mechatronics program at Clover Park Technical College. With new training in electrical systems, programming, and mechanical integration, he earned his Associate of Applied Science degree. Today, he designs hydraulic systems for Western Integrated Technologies, serving clients like Boeing and SpaceX. " If I hadn ' t found CAMPS, I ' d still be stuck in a career I didn ' t enjoy," David said. His story is one of many, showing how tailored education can help veterans and others enter high-growth sectors like aerospace.
