Gulfstream Invests $5M To Boost Bizav Talent Pipeline

Gulfstream Aerospace has invested another $5 million in its home state of Georgia as part of its continuing efforts to boost innovation and strengthen workforce talent and skills for the future of business aviation. This funding will be spread among Savannah-area schools, along with technical colleges and universities across the state. Gulfstream marked the contribution last week during a Discover the Difference event that drew dignitaries, educational partners, and students to its Savannah headquarters.

“Each year, we invest $5 million in education through our Georgia partnerships,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “Developing a strong local talent pipeline is essential to our future, and we are grateful for our educational partners who help prepare students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed.”

Gulfstream has an educational outreach that crosses from K-12 programs and dual enrollment opportunities to technical colleges and research universities. This outreach introduces students to a range of careers in business aviation. The company added that the investments further support its research and development efforts.

Noting that aerospace was the top international export from Georgia, Gulfstream added that it continues to play a significant role in the state’s economic growth, with more than 13,000 employees residing in Georgia.
