Elite workforce training & recruitment
Florida SouthWestern State College and Punta Gorda Airport host the full curriculum for Airframe and Powerplant mechanic training (A&P) from the College of Aviation at Western Michigan University. Because A&P mechanics are often viewed as the “surgeons of advanced manufacturing,” Charlotte County is on track to generate exponential improvements in workforce quality.
