There are problems to solve and discoveries to be made, so when you are given the opportunity to learn, take it.
There will be someone who develops the solution or makes the discovery, and there is no reason that someone cannot be you.
-Gov. Kay Ivey, State of Alabama
What Airbus and other companies in our industry need to be successful in the future is a skilled, knowledgeable workforce that is ready for the future.
Flight Works Alabama will help us create that workforce in an interesting, creative way.
