Since 2002, Larry Wittig has functioned as an ambassador for Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC), an accredited two-year institution that offers more than 90 degree programs, including in aviation science.
LCCC’s associate of applied science in aviation science program qualifies graduates to obtain entry-level positions as ground staff at local airports, at relevant government agencies, and in other flight-related professions. Candidates take on a diverse course load of prerequisites, business courses, and flight training.

Graduates can also go to a four-year program in either aviation management or flight school. LCCC offers two Lehigh Valley International Airport-based flight simulation experiences. The program is restricted to U.S. citizens who are able to obtain an FAA medical certificate.
