The VVC Aviation Program is the result of a collaborative effort including the College, City, County, and Industry leaders. Under the Victor Valley Aviation Education Consortium (VVAEC) all stakeholders have come together to make this training and employment opportunity available in the High Desert. Over $700,000 has been donated by City, County, and State officials to renovate classrooms, create lab spaces, and fully equip the labs according to FAA specifications.
Partnership with Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA)
