This program represents the beginning steps for students who are interested in becoming pilots (private or commercial), as well as general interest within aviation (e.g. becoming an airplane mechanic). Previous students have been able to not only go through the program, but also receive mentorship/support for becoming connected to other aviation opportunities and the pathway of becoming a pilot.

The program:
•    Is scheduled to begin January 2022
•    Is planned to be held in-person, at the Renton Municipal Airport (near the main entrance)
•    Is open to receive applications from any interested RSD student ages 16+ (I believe age 16 by the end, not start, of the course; around March 2022)
•    Is a 12 week course, with students meeting twice a week after school
•    Start time begins after school, allowing for travel time to the site
•    Students are responsible for their transportation (if problematic, perhaps something to explore?)

•    A written statement of 500 words or less on “Why you are interested in aviation” (similar to the job’s Cover Letter, not a college’s personal statement)
