Propelling Careers: CCBC's New Aviation Center Takes Wing
CCBC, in partnership with the Beaver County Airport Authority, is building a new 30,000-square-foot Aviation Sciences Center to expand hands-on training, enhance educational opportunities, and prepare the next generation of aviation professionals. At a time when the aviation industry faces a critical shortage of pilots and air traffic controllers, the James M. Johnson School of Aviation Sciences will help meet workforce demands while ensuring CCBC remains a national leader in aviation education.
As the future takes flight at CCBC, our alumni, aviation professionals, industry partners, and community supporters have an opportunity to help provide the equipment, resources, scholarships, and support that empower CCBC Aviation students to soar towards bright futures.
