Way to go, Tavin! We love seeing our students explore career pathways through Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs like Core Plus Aerospace ✈

Through hands-on learning and experiences like Boeing in Washington’s Student Development Program, students can gain real-world skills, explore careers in the aerospace industry and start building a pathway toward their future - all while they’re still in high school.

We’re proud to see our students putting their learning into action and preparing for what comes next!

Meet Tavin H., a participant in the Student Development Program at Boeing in Washington from Franklin Pierce High School in the Franklin Pierce Schools

How do you think the Student Development Program has set you up for success?

“The Student Development Program has set me up for success by teaching me the core foundational skills that they use at The Boeing Company. I think it's also taught me a lot of skills that I can use everywhere I go in life.”
