Charlotte has banking. Raleigh has state government, but for generations, the Triad has distinguished itself as the place where people make things. Honda Aircraft Company will deliver its long awaited corporate jet to its first client this year. And in doing so, it signifies a new emerging industry in the Triad.
A Burlington company is now one of just six in the U.S. approved by the Federal Aviation Administration to produce jet engines. The announcement could mean more jobs in the region.
Each year, the Triad Business Journal names an eclectic mix of business people from the region who the staff believes will have a real impact on the year to come. Editor Mark Sutter joins Justin Catanoso to discuss the newspaper's 2015 “10 to Watch”.
Guilford Technical Community College has a big opportunity for job seekers. Thanks to a grant, there's free training in aircraft manufacturing and machining programs.
