Six Groves High School seniors secure apprenticeships at Gulfstream Aerospace

The government meeting held on May 29, 2025, celebrated the achievements of six Groves High School seniors who have secured apprenticeships with Gulfstream Aerospace, a leading aerospace company. The event highlighted the students' hard work and dedication as they embark on a significant step towards their future careers.

During the meeting, it was noted that the students—Matthew, Raquan, Amasia, Sofia, Jalen, and John—have successfully completed a rigorous pathway over the past two to three years, culminating in certifications in structure, sheet metal, and composites from Savannah Technical College. This accomplishment is a testament to their commitment to personal and professional growth.

Gulfstream Aerospace, which invests $5 million annually in Georgia's public education, collaborates with Savannah Chatham County Public Schools (SCCPSS) and Savannah Tech to provide an aviation-focused curriculum. This partnership aims to equip talented individuals with the skills necessary for full-time roles within the company. The students were recognized as ambassadors for their school district, with a call for the community to take pride in their achievements.

One student shared a personal story about overcoming challenges, emphasizing the support received from family, particularly in memory of a late mother who encouraged their educational pursuits. This sentiment resonated throughout the meeting, underscoring the importance of perseverance and determination.

The six graduates have signed two-year, full-time paid apprenticeships at Gulfstream, marking the beginning of their professional journeys in the aerospace industry. The meeting concluded with congratulations and encouragement for the students as they prepare to soar into their futures.
