Opportunity Skyway

Opportunity_SkywayOpportunity Skyway at the King County International Airport is an aviation technology and manufacturing exploration program for young adults ages 16 to 21 who have dropped out of high school. It provides these young persons with the unique opportunity to finish their education as they gain hands-on learning in aviation, manufacturing, and career exploration.

Students divide their time between the classroom and the shop. In the classroom, they focus on improving academic competencies in order to eventually earn their high school diploma or GED. In the shop, while constructing an airplane, students apply their basic skills and gain job skills such as blueprint reading, math, proper use of hand and machine tools, and teamwork.
