Next Gen STEM (NGS) NASA Aerospace Skilled Technical Workforce Hubs (NAS_Hub)

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking proposals to establish state or regionally focused hubs that address critical shortages in the aerospace skilled technical workforce and strengthen alignment between education, workforce systems, industry, and NASA missions. The initiative focuses on developing clear pathways for students and jobseekers into high-demand, entry-level aerospace technical careers that do not require a bachelor’s degree. The hubs will serve as strategic centers that coordinate aerospace employers, career and technical education (CTE) programs at community colleges and high schools, state or regional workforce development boards, economic development agencies, and NASA Centers or facilities. • The opportunity is open to government entities, institutions of higher education, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and small businesses. • Approximately $12 million is anticipated to be available over a three-year period, with an expected eight awards of approximately $1.5 million each. • Cost sharing is not required. • Proposals must be submitted electronically through NASA’s NSPIRES system by the published deadline.
