The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is launching a monthly training series for the air traffic controller workforce, just weeks after announcing a multi-million dollar investment aimed at preventing near-misses throughout the country.

The training sessions, part of what the FAA is calling its “Stand Up for Safety” series, will be held in collaboration with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, the agency said in a June 21 statement.
