美国正在经历近30年来最严重的空中交通管制短缺,有3 000多个职位空缺,导致飞行延误。 The U.S. is experiencing its worst air traffic controller shortage in nearly 30 years, with over 3,000 positions vacant, leading to flight delays. 为此,联邦航空局与包括Tulsa社区学院在内的五所学院联手,通过空中交通-集体培训计划,让快速毕业生进入实地。 To address this, the FAA has teamed up with five colleges, including Tulsa Community College, to fast-track graduates into the field through the Air Traffic-Collegiate Training Initiative Program. 该方案允许学生绕过FAA培训的头5周,但仍必须达到严格的要求和通过技能评估。 This program allows students to bypass the first five weeks of FAA training but must still meet rigorous requirements and pass skills assessments.
