Hiring Aerospace Talent

This could be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to capture particular skill sets or retrain talented and experienced workers.

Many businesses, large and small, are hungry for the skills, work ethic and security clearance of the amazing talent pool now available or coming available from the aerospace sector.

As the Space Shuttle program moved toward its retirement this year, regional leaders worked to mitigate the economic impact of this change with the immediate goal of retaining this highly-skilled workforce in our region.

Our Aerospace workforce has qualities valued in any industry:

• a high quality work ethic
• process and safety disciplines
• strong loyalty
• pride in their work
• and a culture of precision performance.

And remember, for EVERY job lost in aerospace, TWO MORE JOBS are lost in the private sector.

The business community can help this effort by being part of the solution, or helping others understand the options, while gaining advantages for their enterprise in the process.
