Aerospace States Association Calls for Renewed Focus on Technical Education
Representatives of the U.S.

Representatives of the U.S. aerospace industry, academia and federal government agencies urged the Aerospace States Association (ASA) last week to pursue its “Call to Action” for the nation to focus on U.S. aerospace competitiveness by encouraging science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem) education.

At an ASA hearing on Capitol Hill on March 9, Aerospace Industries Association president and CEO Marion Blakey emphasized the importance of fostering Stem education to ensure a continued strong and highly skilled workforce to replace the many aerospace employees who are approaching retirement eligibility.
