The continuous scholarships
will apply to tuition and fees.
Part of a national educational
reform measure to improve employ-
ment opportunities, the program
emphasizes rigorous technical train-
ing in math, science, English and
other core subjects. Not only will
the program benefit students but
local businesses as well.
Chancellor C.A. Roberson said,
“One of the major advantages of
Tarrant County Tech Prep is that we
work with local employers to deter-
mine the kinds of skills they need
and develop programs to meet those
needs.”
Roberson believes the Tech
Prep students have a clear advan-
tage when seeking employment fol-
lowing graduation.
Students are not the only bene-
factors of the program.
“Tech Prep has a lot of bene-
fits,” Susan Bonesteel, Tech Prep
coordinator, said. “Students enter
college career-focused, gain im-
proved job skills, qualify for better
jobs and become better workers.”
Students must be a current-year
graduate of a Tarrant County high
school and have completed the
pathway program. A minimum 2.25
GPA while attending TCJC is re-
quired to remain eligible.
Five students from Haltom,
Richland and Boswell high schools
currently participate in the Airframe
Maintenance/Electronics Technolo-
gy program on NW Campus.
Garry Marsden, Aeronautical
Technology division chair, said,
“Aviation maintenance is the wave
of the future. With mechanics re-
tiring at area airlines, the field is
open for graduates entering the job
market.”
The five high school seniors at-
tend classes on NW Campus, cover-
ing Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) regulations as well as other
aviation classes.
Greg Gutierrez, Haltom High
senior, said, “We have a class
where we learn materials and pro-
cesses, how to use tools and which
materials to use in fabrication.”
Job security represents a reason
the students chose their specific
pathway.
Richard Himes, a senior at Hal-
tom High, said, “Airplanes have tcfe
be repaired on a schedule, not jus
when they break down .”
Marsden said those students
interested in pursuing an undergrad-
uate degree in aviation technology
can also benefit.
“We do have an agreement with
the University of North TexasJj/
which allows students to complete
an undergraduate degree in aviation
maintenance,” Marsden said.
Throughout Tarrant County,
1,100 students are enrolled in the
program. S
