Florida Keys Community College (FKCC) has teamed with the Raytheon Technical Services Co. to provide train­ing space and screeners aptitude test­ing to support the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s Screening Partnership Program.

“The college is excited about the many opportunities that Raytheon will bring to the Florida Keys includ­ing new jobs for our students, a boost to our local economy and overall sup­port to Florida Keys Community Col­lege,” said Florida Keys President Jill Landesberg-Boyle.

Cathy Torres, FKCC testing coordi­nator, was instrumental in laying the groundwork in advance of the project by setting up the testing required for airport security screeners.

Raytheon was recently awarded a $16.3 million contract by the Transportation Se­curity Administration for airport screen­ing at Key West International Airport and Florida Keys Marathon Airport.
