Our goal is 100 percent job placement for all successful graduates of our programs at the LCC Aerospace &amp; Advanced Manufacturing Center.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">Students successfully completing the pathway will have guaranteed admission to continue their education in the Associate in Applied Science degree program at LCC and have priority scheduling to complete their degree. Also, those students who graduate high school with a GPA of 3.0 will receive free tuition and fees through the LCC Guarantee scholarship program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">\u201cLCC has invested in upgrading the facility, equipment, and professional development for our highly qualified faculty,\u201d Dean of Industrial Technologies Dr. Maggie Brown said. \u201cEach program at the Center will be equipped with the technology and equipment that meets and often exceeds the industry standard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">Students enrolled in the fall cohort will receive additional advising, industry seminars, plant tours, work-based learning opportunities, preferential course scheduling, and scholarship opportunities,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">Students who begin at the Center as high school juniors will complete college credits and third-party certifications during their junior and senior years. Those who complete the junior and senior year pathways will be able to finish the program\u2019s associate degree within one year after high school graduation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">\u201cAfter completing the associate degree, students will be well qualified to enter the workforce as highly paid, skilled technicians. The students who want to further their education will be qualified to transfer into several university programs, such as East Carolina University\u2019s Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology with degree pathways including Industrial Management, Logistics, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical or Architectural Design, or Information &amp; Computer Technology,\u201d Brown said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">For more information, visit<span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans Bold';\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><a style=\"font-size: 16px;\" href=\"http:\/\/lenoircc.edu\/acaddiv\/aamc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans Bold';\">LCC AAMC<\/span>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Richy Huneycutt Beginning Fall 2019, 18 area high school students will begin a new and exciting opportunity at Lenoir Community College at no cost to students or parents.
