Educated Work Force
On an annual basis thousands of Marines from Yuma's MCAS Air Station, many certified in Mechanical Engineering, Avionics Technician, Systems Maintenance, and Aviation Structural Repair exit the service seeking employment in the Yuma region. The existing skilled Avionic labor force that resides in Yuma is complimented with an additional 3,000 engineers located at the Yuma Proving Ground test center. An abundance of skilled technicians, mechanics, engineers and industrial trade employees creates a built in pipeline of DOD experienced labor that is very hard to find in most parts of the country. Programs at the local college level along with Northern Arizona-Yuma and Embry Riddle are equipping our workforce with the skills necessary to garner careers within the Aerospace and Defense industries.
