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

The rapid expansion of the space economy combined with renewed national priorities in human space exploration, has created an urgent demand for a robust, skilled technical workforce. However, the aerospace and defense sectors are facing critical labor shortages, particularly in technical roles such as machinists, electronics technicians, and systems integrators. These shortages are driven by an aging workforce, rising educational costs, limited awareness of career pathways, and fragmented coordination among education, industry, and workforce systems. To address these challenges and ensure the U.S. remains competitive in space, NASA is launching the Skilled Technical Workforce Hubs (NAS_Hub) initiated by NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) through its Next Gen STEM (NGS) Project. NAS_Hub will support state or regionally focused hubs that serve as strategic centers for developing and sustaining a skilled technical workforce aligned with aerospace industry needs.
