Air Traffic Control - Green River Aviation is one of 36 institutions selected by the FAA for the Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) program. The CTI program establishes an official partnership between the FAA and select aviation education programs. Green River recommends its students to the FAA for hire as air traffic controllers, granting students an advantage in the extremely competitive hiring process. Successful program completion and selection by the FAA can potentially feed directly into air traffic controller training at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. There are additional requirements students must meet beyond acceptance to Green River’s Aviation Technology program to participate in the CTI program. Go to www.faa.gov/jobs/students/schools for more information. Completing the ATC degree does not assure the FAA will hire the Green River AT-CTI graduate. Green River College has no influence over the FAA hiring process.  Students will need to obtain a valid 2nd class medical certificate prior to working as an Air Traffic Controller.
