Vincennes University announces major expansion of Aviation Maintenance program to fill growing demand

0

INDIANAPOLIS, October 12, 2023 – Vincennes University proudly announced a $4.5 million state-funded initiative focused on injecting further vitality into Indiana’s aviation industry and bolstering the Indianapolis International Airport’s growth.

VU plans to expand the reach of its educational impact by doubling the enrollment of the University’s esteemed Aviation Maintenance program. In addition, VU aims to boost its high school dual credit offerings, enabling ambitious high school students to get a head start in their aviation education.

Sen. Jeff Raatz, who is chair of the Senate Education and Career Development Committee, was in attendance for the announcement and spoke at the event on Thursday, Oct. 12.

Raatz said, “This is one of the shining examples of how our educational systems can work. I applaud Vincennes University and AAR. We will see a great return on the investment throughout the lives of the students who are trained here. With programs like this, we win as a state.”

The announcement was made at VU’s state-of-the-art Aviation Technology Center in Indianapolis during an event attended by state and local leaders, including Rep. Jeffrey Thompson, Indiana House Ways and Means Committee chair, and Josh Garrison, senior associate commissioner and chief of staff for the Indiana Higher Education Commission, as well as industry partners, VU administrators, and the University community.

According to VU President Dr. Chuck Johnson, “This initiative allows Vincennes University the opportunity to help develop the next generation of aviation technicians and showcases our dedication to offering rewarding career paths for Hoosiers, offering them a chance to excel in an industry that is vital to our region’s growth and prosperity. We are also grateful for the investment made by our state leaders and for the ongoing support of our industry partners, paving the way for a brighter future for aviation in Indiana.”

VU’s efforts will address the demand for professionals within the aviation industry and help meet the workforce needs of industry partners and the Indianapolis airport, strengthening its position as a vital hub for aviation in the United States.

Through tailored educational programs and cutting-edge facilities, VU is committed to equipping aspiring professionals with the specialized skills needed for successful careers in aviation. The University strives to empower the workforce, enhance regional economic development, and ultimately contribute to aviation’s sustainable growth within Indiana.

VU is expanding enticing pathways for aspiring aviation professionals through collaboration with industry partners, including AAR, Jet Access, FedEx, Textron, Comlux, Rolls Royce, General Electric, and Republic Airways.

Through a strategic partnership with AAR, a global leader in aviation maintenance, VU plans to fill the gap by increasing a training pipeline of highly skilled technicians through work-based learning that will lead to hundreds of new jobs.

“Vincennes University’s focus aligns closely with the objectives of our industry partners, and we’re honored to provide access to high-quality education and affordable pathways to fulfilling careers in aviation maintenance,” VU Director of Aviation Michael Gehrich said. “The demand for aviation maintenance technicians is great. Together, we can cultivate a skilled workforce that will help elevate aviation in Indiana and the country.”

The demand for aviation professionals is sky-high. Almost 2.3 million new aviation personnel are needed over the next 20 years to support the global commercial fleet, according to Boeing’s recent 2023 Pilot and Technician Outlook long-term forecast. Due to a retiring workforce and increasing demand for travel, the report says 690,000 maintenance technicians, 649,900 pilots, and 938,000 cabin crew members are needed.

Aviation maintenance is a high-skill, high-demand job in Indiana, and eligible VU students qualify for the state’s Next Level Jobs grant, making the program even more affordable.

In addition, VU is committed to providing accessible pathways for young learners. With the University’s new initiative, high school students can accelerate their academic journey by earning 16 college credits and completing the general section of the Federal Aviation Administration Airframe and Powerplant certificate while still enrolled in high school.

“This growth will not only enrich our VU community but also strengthen the state of Indiana and the aviation industry by nurturing a new generation of skilled and passionate professionals,” Gehrich said.

Aviation maintenance is a good-paying career. The median pay in 2022 for an aviation maintenance technician was $70,010 per year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Nealis finishes Top-10 at unique Rend Lake Fall Invitational

WHITTINGTON, Ill. – The Vincennes University golf team was short handed earlier this week when the Blazers headed to the Rend Lake Golf Course in Whittington, Ill. for the 2023 Rend Lake College Fall Invitational.

Entering this tournament without sophomore Aaron Brink (Nashville, Ill.) who injured his wrist last tournament, VU Hall of Fame Golf Coach Dennis Chattin looked to see who would be the one to step up in his place.

The tournament was a two-day, 54-hole tournament, consisting of two 27-hole days as Rend Lake Golf Course includes three nine-hole courses.

VU freshman Alex Nealis (Olney, Ill.) stepped up in a big way during the tournament, recording his first Top-10 finish of the season after shooting an eight over par 116 on Monday and an impressive five over 113 on Tuesday to finish 10th overall.

Sophomore Preston Broce (Indianapolis, Ind.) was the next VU scorer, shooting a six over 114 on Monday and capping off the tournament with a 122 on Tuesday, good for 15th place overall out of 45 golfers.

Freshman Xavier Brown (Franklin, Ind.) had the most improvement from one round to the other, taking six shots off of his first round 129 to finish Tuesday with a 123 and take 27th place overall.

Freshman Trejan Morrison (Ferdinand, Ind.) was close behind Brown, shooting a 126 on Monday and a 128 on Tuesday to finish 29th overall.

Freshman Jackson Stone (Vincennes, Ind.) rounds out the VU scorers for the tournament, shooting a 139 on Monday and a 138 on Tuesday to place 42nd overall.

Vincennes as a team had a very consistent tournament, combining to shoot a 485 on Monday and a 486 on Tuesday to finish fourth out of eight teams competing.

The Trailblazers will look to get back to full strength when they hit the links next as VU prepares for the Battle in the Ozarks hosted at Old Kinderhook Resort in Camdenton, Mo.

This tournament will begin on Monday, Oct. 30 and conclude on Tuesday, Oct. 31 and will be the 2023 Fall season finale for the VU golf team.

CenterPoint Energy natural gas bills expected to be more than 20% lower when compared to last winter

1
  • Expected decrease in natural gas bills primarily driven by lower, stable natural gas prices
  • Company purchases natural gas on behalf of its customers, does not mark up or profit from the purchase and sale of natural gas
  • As heating season begins, company encourages customers to utilize assistance programs, various payment options, energy-saving tips and energy efficiency programs

Evansville – Oct. 11, 2023 – CenterPoint Energy’s Indiana South natural gas territory today announced customers should expect a more than 20% decrease in their natural gas bills when compared to those of last winter, assuming normal winter weather, due primarily to stabilization of the natural gas market. Last winter season, higher and more volatile natural gas prices impacted utilities across the state and country. Decreased and stable natural gas prices should assist customers’ bill amounts to remain lower this heating season.

This year, based upon expected natural gas commodity costs and normal winter weather, customers can expect to pay on average $115 a month, over the 5-month heating season of November through March. By comparison, last year’s average bill amount for the 5-month period was around $150 a month.

“With the decrease in natural gas prices, assuming our region experiences normal weather this heating season, customers should expect a notable decrease in their bills compared to last season,” said Ashley Babcock, Vice President, Indiana and Ohio Gas. “However, we recognize some customers might still face financial hardship this heating season, and we want to encourage them to contact us for options to assist in managing costs prior to their first bill of the heating season.”

CenterPoint Energy utilities are not allowed to markup, nor profit, from the purchase and sale of natural gas. Natural gas is a commodity bought and sold in a national deregulated market where prices fluctuate daily due to supply and demand.

Only gas costs actually incurred and approved by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission are recovered from customers. CenterPoint Energy purchases natural gas on behalf of its customers and then passes those costs on to customers through the gas cost adjustment, which is listed on the bill as “Gas Cost Charge.”

Natural gas continues to be the most affordable heating source. In fact, CenterPoint Energy gas customers who heated their homes with natural gas last year saved up to $757 compared to those who heated their homes with propane.

It is important to remember bills will vary by customer depending on the size and age of the home, number of gas appliances, number in the household, thermostat settings and levels of insulation. Customers are encouraged to take advantage of CenterPoint Energy’s array of payment assistance options as well as energy-saving tips and energy efficiency programs to help mitigate the impact on bills.

CenterPoint Energy has in place several tools to help customers manage their energy bills.

Energy Assistance Program (EAP): State and federal utility assistance dollars are available for income-eligible customers. Those that fall within 60 percent of state median income should visit their local community action agency to sign up for the EAP. To apply for the EAP, customers should call 1-800-872-0371 to locate their nearest community action agency. Customers may also apply any time at the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority website at www.EAP.ihcda.in.gov.

Universal Service Program (USP): All eligible natural gas heating customers who apply and qualify for EAP will automatically be enrolled in the USP, which provides additional gas bill reductions that range from 15 to 32 percent of the total bill received (not including EAP benefits) in the months of December through May. The USP, which has been in place since 2005, is the result of a collaborative effort by CenterPoint Energy, Citizens Energy Group, the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor, Citizens Action Coalition and a group representing industrial customers.

Due Date Extension and Payment Arrangement: These are two free offerings available to customers in need of a special payment plan to temporarily keep their service connected and better manage energy costs.

Energy Efficiency Resources: CenterPoint Energy offers energy efficiency tips, appliance rebates and energy-saving tools to help customers lower their natural gas bills. All Indiana residential and small commercial natural gas customers are eligible. Visit www.centerpointenergy.com/smartsavings or call 1-866-240-8476 for a list of rebates, qualifying appliances and energy efficiency tips.

Budget Bill: Under this billing plan, a customer’s estimated costs for a year of gas service are spread in equal monthly bill amounts for the year. This leveling of monthly bill amounts reduces the need to pay the full amount in the winter and spreads some of those higher bill charges into the non-heating months. Amounts are adjusted each summer for actual costs, and the customer’s credit or amount due rolls into the next Budget Bill payment for the next 12-month period. Customers can enroll for free onwww.centerpointenergy.com or by calling 1-800-227-1376.

CenterPoint will continue to seek out opportunities to provide all customers with access to the tools and services needed to manage bills, with plans for Access to Service Fairs to again be held, in partnership with the City of Evansville, later in the heating season. Company representatives will be onsite to speak with customers and provide resources. Customers needing further financial assistance are also encouraged to apply for programs available through local community action agencies and local non-profits.

CenterPoint Energy’s Indiana South territory delivers natural gas to approximately 114,000 customers in Daviess, Gibson, Knox, Martin, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburgh and Warrick counties.

Democrat Stephanie Terry Talks About Her Vision For Evansville 

We are pleased to publish Mayoral Candidate Stephanie Terry’s position facing important matters to Evansville without opinion, bias, or editing.

Her calm, confident nature has served her well in her personal life, in the Vanderburgh County government, and as a successful non-
profit leader.

She is a consensus-builder who believes that getting credit for her efforts is secondary to accomplishing the mission at hand.

Evansville native, Stephanie Terry, is running to be the city’s next Mayor because she cares about the forward progress of this city
and the prosperity of its people.

“I don’t come into this race with any hidden agendas, I simply want to do what’s best for the people of this community,” Terry says.

To that end, Terry has spelled out her priorities as mayor. They include:

Promoting economic growth to ensure that Evansville is a great place to establish and grow a business. “Creating and maintaining good paying jobs are essential for retaining and attracting a highly skilled workforce,” Terry says.

Investing in our neighborhoods and improving city services including caring for our parks, prioritizing housing development, improving our roads, and re-moving blight in underserved areas throughout our community. “Our city won’t truly prosper until all of our neighborhoods are vibrant places to live, work, and raise a family,” Terry says.

Keeping Evansville safe in order to provide a foundation for all other aspects of life in the city. “Public safety requires a long-term approach,” Terry says. “We must not only ensure our police force is well-equipped, but we must also address the root causes of crime, such as generational poverty, mental health issues, and sub-stance abuse.”

Developing a more child-friendly city focused on student success, strengthened neighborhoods, and the overall health and well-being of our youth and chil- dren.

Terry is uniquely qualified to serve as Mayor. Her background combines government, non-profit, and health service work.

She is the only candidate who has been elected to and served in public office.

As a member of the Vanderburgh County Council for more than a decade, Stephanie has gained the respect of the community as she has guarded the use of tax-payer money and worked in a professional, bi-partisan manner. On council, she has supported business creation and expansion, law enforcement, youth development, the arts & culture sector, and infrastructure improvements.

For the past 13 years, she has served as the Executive Director for the Children’s Museum of Evansville. Under her leadership, Terry has increased visitors and memberships, strengthened partnerships; and raised and invested over $1 million in capital projects. Terry also worked with her team to launch a reduced admission program for low-income families, establish a professional development program for local businesses to help infuse creative thinking in the workplace, and develop the Children’s March on Evansville to provide a platform for children/teens to amplify their voices in local social justice issues. She successfully led the museum through the global pandemic. And recently, Terry recently announced a $6.5 million dollar capital campaign, with $5M already committed.

Stephanie Terry’s civic and community work does not stop there. She has served on the board of directors of Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare, YWCA, Visiting Nurse Association, City of Evansville Board of Public Safety, E-REP, and Women’s Equality Day Committee. Currently, she serves on the Downtown Economic Improvement District (EID) board and the Association of Children’s Museums, a national board.

She is excited to make history as the first woman mayor and the first African-American mayor. She is committed to making Evansville a great place to live, raise a family, and do business. “This election is about meeting the needs of Evansville’s citizens and creating a city that works for everyone,” Terry says.

Her campaign is endorsed by former Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel, Sheriff Noah Robinson, Police Chief Billy Bolin, School Board Member Melissa Moore, 4th Ward City Council Member Alex Burton, 2nd Ward City Council Member Missy Mosby, Vander- burgh County Council Member Mike Goebel, 1st Ward City Council Member Ben Trockman, 3rd Ward City Council President Zach Heronemous, and Former Evansville City Council Member Dr. Dan Adams. She has also been endorsed by the following unions and organizations: Elect Black Women PAC, ReCenter Indi- ana, Run Sister Run PAC, Indiana Conservation Voters, Southern Indiana Area Labor Federation AFL-CIO, and Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 136.

Stephanie believes that together we will and can continue to move Evansville forward!

Gov. Holcomb announces second Stellantis, Samsung SDI EV battery manufacturing facility, $3.2B investment

Joint venture StarPlus Energy doubles investment, job creation plans for Kokomo, solidifying Indiana’s global leadership in shaping the future of mobility

Governor Eric J. Holcomb announced today that Stellantis (NYSE: STLA) and Samsung SDI will significantly expand electric vehicle battery manufacturing operations in Indiana, investing more than $3.2 billion. The facility will be the joint venture’s second StarPlus Energy gigafactory in Kokomo. To support this growth, the companies plan to create 1,400 new, high-wage jobs in north central Indiana, growing its total planned workforce to 2,800 jobs.

“Indiana’s economy is on a roll,” said Gov. Holcomb. “Today’s commitment from Stellantis and Samsung SDI will double the capital investment, the new jobs created, and the impact this joint venture will have on Kokomo and the state of Indiana for decades to come. This decision puts Hoosiers squarely at the center of innovating and developing the future of mobility, catalyzing Indiana’s leadership position in tomorrow’s global economy.”

This will be the second StarPlus Energy gigafactory in Kokomo, growing the joint venture company’s total investment to more than $6.3 billion. The second next-generation electric vehicle manufacturing facility will be built adjacent to the first gigafactory in Kokomo first announced in May 2022, which is currently under construction and targeted to launch in the first quarter of 2025 with an annual production of 33 gigawatt hours (GWh). This second battery manufacturing facility is expected to start production in early 2027 and aims to have an initial annual production of 34 GWh, significantly increasing the joint venture’s U.S. capacity and accelerating Stellantis’ transition to electric vehicles.

“Our battery ecosystem is the foundation of our electrification strategy and our great partners Samsung SDI, the state of Indiana, and the city of Kokomo have created a compelling case for locating our sixth gigafactory in Kokomo,” said Mark Stewart, Stellantis COO North America. “The BEVs coming to our North America brands play an important role in our drive to offer clean, safe and affordable mobility for all and achieve the bold goal of carbon net zero by 2038.”

This investment is intended to be the sixth battery facility to support Stellantis’ bold electrification plan outlined in Dare Forward 2030 and is part of the company’s long-term electrification strategy to invest $35 billion USD through 2025 in electrification and software globally. Stellantis plans to reach a 100% passenger car battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales mix in Europe and 50% passenger car and light-duty truck BEV sales mix in the U.S. by 2030. To achieve these sales targets, the company is securing approximately 400 GWh of battery capacity. This investment marks that Stellantis is on track to become a carbon net zero corporation by 2038, all scopes included, with single-digit percentage compensation of remaining emissions.

“Through construction of the second battery plant of StarPlus Energy, Samsung SDI will be establishing its largest production base for electric vehicle batteries in North America,” said Yoon-ho Choi, president and CEO of Samsung SDI. “We expect Stellantis brand vehicles powered by Samsung SDI batteries featuring unrivalled technologies to contribute to fastening the U.S. transition to an era of electric vehicles.”

Stellantis employs more than 85,000 people across North America, including more than 7,000 throughout its Indiana operations. Since 2020, the company and its JV partners have committed to investing nearly $6.5 billion in Indiana to support its transition to electrification. In February, the company announced plans to invest $155 million in three Indiana facilities to add and localize production of its new electric drive module (EDM) to provide an all-in-one solution for electric vehicle powertrains.

“We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Stellantis, Samsung SDI, and their joint-venture StarPlus Energy for their continued commitment and investment in our community. The addition of this second battery plant will solidify Kokomo as one of the largest electric vehicle battery producers in North America and shows that Kokomo continues to remain on the cutting edge of advanced automotive manufacturing.”

Pending approval from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) Board of Directors, the IEDC committed an investment in StarPlus Energy of up to $37.5 million in the form of conditional tax credits and up to $2 million in conditional training grants based on the joint venture’s investment and job creation plans. The IEDC also committed an investment of up to $22 million in conditional redevelopment tax credits based on the company’s investment plans and up to $115 million in conditional structured performance payments. These incentives are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim state benefits once investments are made and employees are hired and trained. The city of Kokomo, Greater Kokomo Economic Development Alliance Inc., Howard County, Duke Energy Indiana and Northern Indiana Public Service Company offered additional incentives.

Today’s news comes on the heels of Gov. Holcomb’s economic development trip to South Korea in August 2022 focused on advancing the state’s electric vehicle ecosystem. There, the governor and the delegation visited Samsung SDI to tour its main electric vehicle battery production line and meet with top executives of the company and with Stellantis to celebrate their growth plans in Indiana.
