Folks finding a second career

Displaced Bridgeport-area workers are finding a second career, and the area’s economy is benefiting with the help of the Robert C. Byrd National Aerospace Education Center, which is a part of the Pierpont Community & Technical College. Graduates of the center obtain jobs at local companies like Aurora Flight Sciences, which builds components for military and civilian aircraft; Bombardier Aircraft Services, which repairs and maintains transport carrier aircraft.
