A new collaborative effort between Granite School District and several large companies and organizations is giving students a foot in the door to an expanding industry.

Governor Gary Herbert recently announced the Utah Aerospace Pathways program – a new initiative being piloted this year that will allow students to get paid internships while in high school and graduate with a certificate to help immediately jump into an aerospace manufacturing career.

The program will give students direct and accelerated pathways into some of Utah’s largest industries doing jobs that require special skills. Major companies are on board with the program, including Boeing, Hexcel, Hill Air Force Base, and ATK.

Granite School District, along with Davis School District, Davis Applied Technology College, and Salt Lake Community College, will be the first to pilot the program. If the pilot is successful, the program will expand to include other school districts and additional students.

Granger High, Hunter High and Kearns High will pilot the program in Granite School District.

    Why only those few schools are able to participate. My son attended the stem summer camp for technology and was able to learn about those jobs but because he goes to Cyprus he doesn’t have the opportunity to be included in one of those internships. Why do the least excelling schools never get these kinds of programs offered to their students? Please setup this program in Cypress Highschool.

      The facilitators of the program chose those three schools to pilot the initiative. If the program is successful it will expand to more schools and students. This first year is a test run of sorts.

          Students at the three schools piloting the program may speak to their school’s CTE coordinator.

            It’s in the early stages at each of schools. CTE coordinators can provide specifics on how to get involved.
