Partnership Aims to Address Skilled Technician Shortage in Aerospace
NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement has selected Georgia Tech to participate in a partnership designed to address a shortage of skilled technicians in the aerospace industry. The initiative, which includes six other institutions, aims to reach students who may not pursue traditional four-year degrees and provide training for high-demand, well-paying jobs. The program will offer courses leading to short-term certificates and associate degrees, as well as internships and hands-on learning. According to Elaine Ho, NASA’s associate administrator for STEM engagement, the goal is to establish a faster path for training students for these roles.
