Spartan College Offering Workforce Transition Class For Military

Tulsa's Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology is offering a first-of-its kind program for those leaving the military.

It's a custom program, approved by the FAA for aviation maintenance.

It's designed to get members of the armed forces the additional training they need faster, as they transition into the civilian workforce.

"Instead of coming back and serving a year and a half training and spending money, they're spending 7 months training and spending money,” U.S. Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.). “Then they can go out and start earning money a lot faster, which is going to be great for the folks who have been serving our country."

Military members can access the program, even if they're deployed in a remote location or on a ship.
