 Description
The North Texas Aviation Education Initiative is being initiated by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) from a widely recognized need for additional aviation workforce regionally and nationally. Despite its preeminence in the aviation industry, and the demonstrated need to train additional aviation professionals, the region lacks a public university with a comprehensive four-year college program for students who would like to pursue an aviation career. This was first documented by a Texas Transportation Institute report (2003) and later by NCTCOG’s New Technology and Industry Trends Report (2007). The goal of this study is to coordinate with regional industry and academic partners to form a complete and thorough aviation academic program in the region. The study will address the needs at the university, community college, trade school, high school, and junior high levels.
Please see NCTCOG's white paper, The Need for Coordinated Aviation Curriculum Study
in North Central Texas, documenting the need for this initiative.
