Council for Airport Opportunity:
Providing Jobs & Developing a Strong Work Force

In a struggling economy where layoffs are common and morale is low, it is a challenge in itself to find employment opportunities, never mind provide these opportunities to countless other individuals. But despite a challenging economic situation, the Council for Airport Opportunity (CAO) has managed to bring job opportunities to hundreds of residents in the communities surrounding the Port Authority’s metropolitan airports.
