“Anyone who’s been affected by the layoffs from the supply chain or Spirit AeroSystems is eligible for Wichita Promise scholarships to upskill their training and their education, to reskill or continue toward their degree,” said Dr. Utash. The Wichita Promise Scholarship Program is designed to increase Wichita’s skilled workforce by helping pay for tuition and fees for students. It helps them find high wage, high demand jobs and gives them personal career coaching, training, and more.
