Airport Director Visits Imagine Kissimmee Charter School to Talk About Careers in Aviation

Our Aviation Director, Shaun Germolus, visited Imagine Kissimmee Charter Academy and spoke to classes of 6th and 8th graders about the many career opportunities in the aviation industry. His talk with the class was followed up by a tour last month at the Kissimmee Gateway Airport. The students visited and interacted first-hand with company representatives of Cirrus Aircraft, Air Methods, and the Osceola County Sheriff's life safety and law enforcement helicopter operations. They also had the opportunity to learn from airport management and air traffic control management. Visits to local elementary, middle, and high schools are part of Kissimmee Airport's educational outreach program to help students learn more about careers in the aerospace and aviation industries.
