WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
AND
JOB OPPORTUNITY
Northwest Arkansas Aviation Technologies Center
Knowledge, The Next Frontier.
"Arkansas' robust economy needs the sustenance of better educated citizens who can work
in technology -based industries," Governor Huckabee said as he addressed the opening of
his Summit on Economic Development on June 9, 1998.' The Governor continued to tell
Summit participants that state government doesn't have the answers; the answers will
come from the insights that have made your businesses, your enterprises, as successful as
they are. Arkansas, he said, must find a way to replace manufacturing jobs that pay
minimum wage - many of which are leaving for developing countries - with technology or
knowledge -based jobs. "We can't muddle along doing things the way we've been doing
them. We need to raise the standard of living instead of maintaining an inadequate one.
We have not had the focus on technology that we intend to have," the Governor concluded.
On Thursday, November 20, 1997, the Governor announced that Barbara Pardue would
lead the Arkansas Economic Development Commission (AEDC). At the announcement
news conference, Ms. Pardue stated that she "would like to have a business plan for the
agency, with a clear vision of where we want to go and the strategy for how we're going to
get there."The hint of that strategy surfaced the next day as Ms. Pardue and the
Commission met at Fort Smith and heard a report that the two-year colleges in Arkansas
had begun to coordinate workforce development resources and to look at now those
resources can be used more efficiently to help businesses and industries train and educate
employees.
Five short months later, the new business plan and strategy came into sharp focus when
Ms. Pardue told the Commission at its meeting on April 16, 1998, in Fayetteville, that
"Education is the key to economic development. We've got to educate our students in
areas that are meaningful and marketable. We need to make sure kids understand that
having ajob in Arkansas is a benchmark, something to be proud of" 3 The best asset
Arkansas can offer is a well -trained work force, she said. Pardue noted that partnerships
that bring together educators, businessmen and students are in place in 12 communities,
and those partnerships have worked so well that similar alliances are being considered on a
regional level. Pardue further noted that funding for workforce development projects is
being studied, and a recommendation on AEDC's role will be forthcoming.
Hopefully, AEDC's role will mirror the Governor's comment at the Economic
Development Summit, "It takes a lot less money to do it right than it does to do it over."

2. Teamwork for the 21" Century.
Since its inception, the Northwest Arkansas Council has advocated the establishment of
public and private partnerships which would enhance the region's economic well-being
through the development of improved infrastructure, the creation of new job opportunity
within high technology industries, and the implementation of training programs which
provide our people with the skills required to secure the higher paying jobs of the future.
In his letter of August 27, 1997, to the Northwest Arkansas Alliance for Higher Education,
an association consisting of the University of Arkansas, John Brown University, Northwest
Technical Institute, and Northwest Arkansas Community College, the Council's Chairman
John Paul Hammerschmidt suggested the creation of a new partnership between education
and industry to pursue the implementation of an industry -driven curriculum in the fields of
aviation maintenance technology, avionics, electronics, and such other industrial
technology as may be mutually agreeable.
The Alliance, in keeping with its mission to encourage, facilitate and promote cooperation
among the member institutions so as to best meet the educational needs of students and
citizens in a productive manner, enacted its resolution of support for the workforce
development and training program concept, and the institutions stated their desire to
participate in instruction and training activities wherever appropriate to each institution's
mission and resources.
Feeling the double-edged backlash of a declining number of skilled employees and
increasing demands for a highly skilled workforce, local industry leaders in November,
1997, formed a consortium, Synergy-Tech/Northwest Arkansas Industries for Education,
to help meet the educational and training needs of the region's industries. "To remain
competitive, we must constantly educate and train our work force," said Sheryl Crisler,
human resources manager for Pratt & Whitney. "Industry leaders recognize the need for
continuous teaching and training in our environment to create a better work force."'
Synergy -Tech received state funding to build a training center near the Northwest
Technical Institute to offer a curriculum based on the specific needs of area industries and
businesses, including hands-on training of entry level workers and upgrading skills of
current employees.
Building on these beginnings, and taking this training to the next level, a new private non-
profit corporation, the Northwest Arkansas Aviation Technologies Center, has been
created to develop and implement a broadly based workforce development program which
has, as its focus, the teaching of highly technical skills required by the Federal Aviation
Administration for certification of people to work on aircraft.
Such a training program, measured by the stringent federal requirements which protect the
public safety of air travel, requires the highest level of training standards. High standards,
outstanding graduates, productive employees for all industries which require a high level of
skills. That's the future.
Together, we can prepare Arkansas for Tomorrow's Jobs.
° The Morning News of Northwest Arkansas, November 23, 1997.
3. Northwest Arkansas Aviation Technologies Center.
The Northwest Arkansas Aviation Technologies Center (ATC) is designed to bring a new
technology to Northwest Arkansas. It's focus is driven by the desire to deliver to Arkansas
citizens the highest level of skills training possible. That's why the Center, and its Board
of Directors chaired by Mark Simmons, decided to pursue the development of an Aviation
Maintenance Technology Program which would be certified under the Federal Aviation
Regulation 147 (FAR -147) for the training of airframe and powerplant mechanics
The three phase curriculum, consisting of 1,960 hours of instruction as set forth in Exhibit
A, is designed to provide graduates with the highly technical skills required by the aviation
and aerospace industry, but such skills are widely applicable to all industries. The first
general phase provides students with training in mathematics, physics, electricity, fluids,
corrosion control, materials and processes. The second airframe phase teaches sheet metal
and structures, finishes, welding, rigging, gear systems, hydraulic and pneumatic power
systems, atmosphere control, electronics and instruments, communication and navigation
systems, fuel systems and fire protection systems. The third phase powerplant curriculum
provides technical instruction in powerplant theory and maintenance, including
instruments, fire protection, electrical systems, lubrication systems, ignition and starting
systems, induction and airflow systems, fuel systems, cooling systems, and exhaust
systems.
4. The Opportunities and the Problem.
"Aerospace education was one of the biggest issues we ran into when we came up here as
a company," said a spokesman for Ozark Aircraft Systems (OAS).5 OAS modifies
aircraft, primarily large jets like the Boeing 737 and Airbus A300. Headquartered in
Rogers, OAS is constructed the first of seven aircraft hangars planned for OAS at the
Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport. Scheduled for completion in December, 1998, the
first hangar is a 52,800 square foot structure design to accommodate the Boeing 747.
Engineers, managers, marketing personnel and a host of other specialists are needed by the
company. Some are already available; others, particularly aircraft mechanics, have to
learn their skills elsewhere. In the longer term, we won't be as successful as we could be if
the labor force is not educated or trained in the business we're into.
People and their positive attitudes were the main reasons cited for bringing OAS to the
region, and working with people in the educational system exemplifies that. OAS
representatives have been speaking to local educators, talking up the idea of aviation
education in Arkansas. "The local response has been phenomenal," they said.
Fayetteville school district officials traveled to Tulsa (the closest aviation program is at
Tulsa Technology Center through the Tulsa Aviation Education Alliance) to view that
aviation technology program. John Davidson, principal of Fayetteville High West Campus
said, "We're excited about the prospect of bringing a program to West Campus. There is
a good possibility for an outstanding program here; we are very interested." While it is too
early to tell if the program could become a reality, Davidson said the Tulsa meeting
demonstrated that the dreams we have right now are possible.
5 The Morning News of Northwest Arkansas. November 23, 1997
For the training to be successful, Davidson emphasized, the campus would have to work in
partnership with a post -secondary entity like a college, community college, private
company, or a non-profit training program. He was enthusiastic about the opportunity for
students who complete this training. "We think if we could eventually pull this off, it
would attract kids into high paying jobs. In Northwest Arkansas, that's a real need."
Dr. Doyle Williams, dean of the UA College of Business Administration, said OAS had
already made contributions as co -directors of Partners in Progress. He anticipated student
internships with the company, as well as the hiring of more business graduates. "We're
real excited about bringing this kind of company to Northwest Arkansas, and the
opportunity for graduates, as well as the contributions we see they'll be making to the
economic development of the Northwest Arkansas economy," he said. Williams said that,
in his four years in Arkansas, this is the first major shift in opportunity he has seen for the
area, and felt the need for a cooperative effort. "The more the educational institutions can
work together and respond to industry's needs, the greater the opportunity for us to
contribute to the economic development of the state and region, and the better for all
concerned," Williams concluded.
Dr. Otto Loewer, dean of the College of Engineering, said OAS has been a good partner,
particularly in hiring engineering graduates and offering higher -paying employment
opportunities. "Anything we can do to encourage the creation of these employment
opportunities is consistent with what the college of engineering is trying to accomplish,"
Loewer said.
Northwest Technical Institute is stuck in a holding pattern with two state -approved aircraft
maintenance programs that lack funding. NTI won approval by the state in 1997 for
curricula for both airframe and powerplant maintenance programs, but funding for the
expensive programs can't be squeezed out of NTI's existing budget. NTi faces a "catch -
22" in its program plan. While the Federal Aviation Administration must approve the
programs before the state will allocate new funding, the federal agency will not approve a
program until it is already in operation. The whole problem is the money, says George
Burch, director of NTI's business and industry training. "Airplane technology programs
are relatively expensive to operate, let alone start. The programs require the purchase of
airplanes for hands-on training, and qualified teaching personnel," Burch said.6
From the deans of two colleges at the University to a leading high school principal, the
operative word is "opportunity':
• opportunity to provide demand driven high technology training;
• opportunity to create new jobs, and new career paths for secondary and post secondary
students;
• opportunity to help existing industry succeed;
• opportunity to attract other aviation and aerospace companies to Arkansas by meeting
their skilled people requirements.
But the problem, as NTI demonstrates, is the "money".
6 The Morning News of Northwest Arkansas, November 23, 1997
5. Request for Financial Assistance.
The Northwest Arkansas Aviation Technologies Center (ATC), a private, non-profit
corporation, and its Board of Directors, plan to organize, develop, implement and operate
an Aviation Maintenance Technology Training Program, commonly referred to as an A&P
Program (an acronym for the program's (A)irframe and (P)owerplant curriculum).
The A&P Program, once operational, will be supported by tuition and fees charged to its
students, thereby ensuring that future appropriation of state funding will not be necessary
for continued operation and maintenance of the A&P training program.
The ATC has secured and will make available to its students an appropriate level of
scholarship funding from private sector foundations, and it will implement industry driven
internships and school -to -work programs, to ensure that qualified Arkansas citizens have
the opportunity to participate in the skills training program and then join in the future job
opportunity that results from such training.
However, the ATC has no funding to start the A&P Program. Without financial
assistance from the State of Arkansas, the workforce training program will not be
implemented, and the opportunity that is currently available will be irretrievably lost.
Therefore, the ATC respectfully requests that the State of Arkansas provide grant funds in
the amount of $1.8 million to fund start-up costs of program implementation, as follows:
Equipment .........................................$ 450,000
General Section: Electrical Lab, Computer Lab, Training
Aids and Support Materials - $46,000
Airframe Section: Sheetmetal Shop, Composite Lab,
Hydraulics and Pneumatics Lab, Landing Gear and
Electrical Lab - $108,000
Powerplant Section: Reciprocal Engine Shop, Turbine
Engine Shop, Fuel and Ignition Systems Lab - $124,000
Aircraft -$114,000
Tool Room and Support Equipment - $12,000
Technical Staff and Student Support Materials - $46,000
Program Certification and Documentation .................. $ 400,000
Curriculum and Operational Manuals, Lesson Plans and
Project Guides, Course Test Banks, Students Records,
Marketing Materials, and High School Program
Instruction Management and Oversight .....................$ 950.000
18 Month Design, Build, Operate and Transfer of Management
Total Start -Up Cost - 18 -Month Plan ...................... $1.800.000
5.1 Funding Options. The creation of an A&P Program represents a unique blend of
economic development, workforce development, and workforce training issues,
with special emphasis on aviation and aerospace. Given this unique combination
of goals, it appears the project can be funded from three state grant sources: The
Economic Infrastructure Fund, the Industry and Aerospace Development Fund,
and the Economic Development Fund of Arkansas.
5.2 Funding Methodology. As a private, non-profit corporation, the ATC is ideally
structured to own and operate a non-profit workforce training program, and to
raise funds from the private sector to finance project operation and maintenance.
However, it is ATC's belief that state grant funding can best be facilitated if
awarded to a public entity, such as the City of Fayetteville, the Northwest
Arkansas Community College, or Northwest Technical Institute, with funding
flow to the ATC for project implementation and management.
5.3 Time is of the Essence. The ATC has worked almost a year to arrive at this point
of program creation. As part of that effort, the relatively scarce equipment
required by the FAA for program certification has been located, and we're ready
to purchase the equipment will it is available. The ATC's failure to purchase such
equipment, with its limited availability, could result in a prolonged delay in
program implementation and a substantial increase in cost.
6. From Dreams to Reality.
Moving from dreams to reality requires prudent planning and hard work. Concepts must
be explored and tested; alliances must be made; turf battles must be avoided; and the
student must be the ultimate winner. The following presents a partial summary of ATC
Board decisions which, if implemented, can move the A&P Program to reality.
6.1 Proving Feasibility. In 1997, the ATC contracted with The Sabre Group (TSG), a
subsidiary of AMR Corporation and one of the nation's leading creators of A&P
Programs, to explore the feasibility of starting a new private, non-profit workforce
training program. TSG reported that, indeed, such a program would be successful
and provide great benefit to the people of the region and state. The ATC Board of
Directors, after extensive review and careful deliberation, concurred with the TSG
report, and TSG proceeded to develop a business plan for the development of the
A&P Program. Please see Exhibit B -Project Flowchart, and Exhibit C -Business
Plan.
6.2 Contracts with Educational Institutions The ATC would intend to enter into
contracts for service with the University of Arkansas, John Brown University,
Northwest Technical Institute and the Northwest Arkansas Community College
for the provision of such course instruction as may be available from such
institutions, thereby making the best use of limited resources and avoiding
duplication of expenditure.
6.3 Future Decree Programs, The ATC is committed to working with educational
institutions and the Departments of Higher Education and Workforce Development
to implement programs which result in the award of credit hours and future
associate degrees.
6.4 Instructors. To the extent that course instruction or certified instructors are not
available within the structure of existing educational institutions, the ATC will
recruit nationally to secure the most experienced and qualified individuals to
provide workforce training instruction.
6.5 Classroom and Lab Space. The ATC would intend to enter into a lease agreement
with the City of Fayetteville for the lease of approximately 18,000 square feet of
hangar space at Drake Field to house the initial classrooms and labs of the A&P
Program.
6.6 Marketing and Student Recruitment. The ATC will implement a marketing and
recruitment program geared to attracting secondary and post secondary students to
the training program by demonstrating the opportunities that exist for people to
prosper by working in aviation, aerospace and other high technology industries.
Special emphasis will be place on recruitment of qualified high school students.
6.7 Career Placement Program, The ATC, working with industry leadership, will
develop and implement a career placement program. Student internships will
provide hands-on experience, and allow students to earn while they learn. Special
emphasis will, once again, be placed on demonstrating to high school students that
securing high tech talents will open up productive and rewarding careers in
exciting new fields of endeavor.
6.8 Association with Other Arkansas A&P Programs. Arkansas currently supports
A&P Programs at Black River Vo-Tech, SAU-Camden, and Pulaski Technical
College. The ATC intends to develop and participate in cooperative efforts which
enhance the curriculum, instruction, and student placement of all Arkansas A&P
programs. This effort has already begun as ATC representatives met in May,
1998, with school leaders at Black Rock and Camden to discuss how we could
cooperatively improve our programs. Sharing resources, making scholarships
available, placing graduates in good paying jobs; all are examples of what that
cooperative strategy can be.
6.9 Scholarships. As we've visited high schools and technical campuses, kids exhibit
almost "wide-eyed amazement" as we talk about the possibility that they, too,
could work on airplanes. But, almost immediately, you can see doubt cross their
minds, as they measure their self-worth or their financial status, and some even
confess they can't afford to go to school and give up their jobs at McDonalds. To
avoid this waste of human resources, the ATC has secured commitments from the
private sector to fund scholarships for those kids who need help. We're going to
ensure that qualified Arkansas kids have the financial opportunity to gain the skills
training necessary to enter new, high technology careers. Private sector funding
makes this part of the dream a reality.
6.10 Employment
and Salary Opportunity While many
Arkansas
employers will
benefit from the development of the
A&P Program,
Ozark Aircraft Systems is
the
first
company which has committed
to the creation
of new jobs
in the aviation
field.
Based on the OAS letter of June
5, 1998, the
company
intends to provide
the following initial job opportunity
during 1999:
•
10 Managers / Supervisors
$
38,000
to $ 55,000 /
yr
•
40 Electrical Fabricators / Installers $

8.00
to $ 12.00 /
hr
•
Total - 110 Employees
$
2,418,400
to $4,335,600!
yr
OAS further states in an additional letter dated May 11, 1998, that the company
projects that employment at the company will reach 500 within three years and
1,200 within eight years. Copies of the OAS letters are included as Exhibit D.
When these future employment numbers are multiplied by the average weekly
earnings of $735.49 for Industry Group 372 -Aircraft and Parts, as reported for
December 31, 1997, by the Arkansas Employment Security Division, total annual
payroll for this company alone could be $19.1 million within three years and $45.9
million within eight years. But these new high tech jobs won't go to Arkansas
kids unless they have the skills this workforce training program can supply.
6.11 Broad -based Industry Benefit. The Sabre Group, in analyzing the feasibility of
the A&P Program, made an important statement: "It is a matter of record that
approximately thirty percent (30%) of certified technicians (A&P graduates) never
enter the aviation field. A&P training probably leads to the best set of vocational
skills available in one course of study. As such, graduates are sought by
companies and service organizations that place a very high value on versatility of
A&P Program graduates."r
Without question, industry and the workplace are rapidly becoming more complex;
computer controlled equipment has become the norm, not the exception. Yet
skilled people are not available to keep that equipment up and running. High
skilled job openings remain unfilled, as industry casts a wider and wider net to
recruit the knowledge -based talents it needs to compete. That's why the
Northwest Arkansas Chambers of Commerce, and companies like Pratt &
Whitney, Bekaert Steel, First Brands, Danaher Tools, Preformed Line Products,
Marshalltown Tools, Jet Stream Plastic, Tyson Foods, Regional Jet Center, Wal-
Mart Stores, Superior Industries, Kawneer Company, and many other premier
firms are working together to meet the education and training needs of the region.
The A&P Program, with its outstanding course of study, can produce the skilled
labor force which will ensure that existing Arkansas industry continues to create
new job opportunity for Arkansas citizens.
Progress, and the future, are in our hands.
Northwest Arkansas A&P Program Business Plan, January 12, 1998. Page 15.
As the Governor said in
the
June issue
of The Arkansas Advantage,
"It's a
lot easier to
make progress when we
all
pull in the
same direction." We could not
agree
more.
The Northwest Arkansas Aviation Technologies Center respectfully requests that the
leadership of the State of Arkansas not let anything stand between our kids and their
dreams.

Dear Mr. Pledger:
Ozark Aircraft Systems. an aircraft engineering and modification company, is the first tenant of
the New Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport. (NWARA). Our first hangar at this airport will
be complete in November of this year and create over 110 new high-technology jobs in 1998
with employment expected to reach 500 within three years and 1,?00 within eight years.
OAS has hired six University of Arkansas Engineering students/graduates since commencing
operation in February of 1997 at the Universities Genesis Business Incubator. It is our intent to
trainihire as much local Arkansas talent as is possible. To date this has worked well and we see
no reason why this will not continue.
Cur salaries at the new airport will average S 12.00 per hour for hands on labor and 543.000 per
year for salaried/managernent talent.
We strongly supports the NWARA and the surrounding communities in recommending the S1.8
million grant be approved :o enable the efficient operation of this new airport.
Should you require additional information or have any questions please contact the urdersigned
