Aviation infrastructure is only part of what makes a site competitive. Companies also need access to a skilled workforce that understands the technical demands of modern aerospace operations. At the Arkansas Aeroplex, those two pieces come together in a way that few locations can offer.
In Mississippi County, Arkansas Northeastern College (ANC) plays a direct role in preparing the regional workforce.
Through its Division of Allied Technologies and Solutions Group, ANC focuses on workforce-ready programs built around hands-on learning and industry partnerships. Employers can work with ANC to build tailored, specific training for their employees.
The ANC Aviation Program is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)–certified Part 147 Aviation Maintenance School that equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully complete the General, Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) certification exams.
And the college offers multiple aviation-related credentials, including:
- Aviation airframe maintenance certificates
- Aviation powerplant maintenance certificates
- General aviation training programs
- Industrial and manufacturing skill programs that support aviation operations
These programs allow graduates to transition directly into aviation, manufacturing and industrial roles.
For companies considering operations at the Aeroplex, this local capacity gives employers a direct workforce pipeline without the need for outsourced training or recruitment.
