Program Description

Spokane Community College, in conjunction with the Inland Northwest Aerospace Technology Center, offers the Rural Aerospace certificate at the SCC Colville Industrial Center.

This program focuses on the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform the typical duties of Precision Machining and Quality Assurance in the manufacturing industry. The program will prepare students to work with quality control systems management principles, applicable technical standards, testing inspection and reporting procedures; as well as preparing the student to work in small machine shops or manufacturing firms that produce durable goods such as metalworking and industrial machinery, aircraft parts, equipment, and components for manufactured products.

The Rural Aerospace Training Certificate, which consists of Precision Machining and Quality Assurance (one quarter each), prepares students for careers in the aerospace industry. A third quarter focus on welding and fabrication will provide skills needed for employment in rural communities. This certificate also provides the sustainability necessary for this program to continue in the rural counties.
