In an effort to support the defense effort for World War II, a cluster of programs named industrial education were offered. This included auto body repair, auto mechanic, diesel and heavy equipment mechanic, electrical construction, machinist, sheet metal, and welding. <\/p>\n Within 18 months of opening, more than 3,000 people received training that led to jobs in the shipyards, mills and Boeing's airplane plant. Even after separating from the school district in 1991 and changing the name ultimately to Bates Technical College, these programs still remain strong and relevant, and they help fuel the region's important aerospace industry. <\/p>\n We invite you to be a part of our legacy. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Excerpt from:<\/p>\n Bates Technical College: Aerospace Programs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Contact Us Aerospace Program Navigator,253.680.7203 Learn.
