The NASA Aerospace Skilled Technical Workforce Hubs (NAS_Hub) grant is designed to help create regional centers that address shortages in the aerospace technical workforce. These hubs will connect aerospace employers, educational institutions, and workforce development agencies to create career pathways for students and job seekers into aerospace jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree. The program offers about $12 million over three years, with each hub potentially receiving up to $1.5 million.
Who it's for: This grant is for government entities, educational institutions, nonprofits, for-profit organizations, and small businesses that can establish regional hubs to support the aerospace technical workforce. Ideal applicants are those who can collaborate with educational and workforce development partners to create pathways into aerospace careers.
