House Committee Supports Industry Workforce Efforts
The House Appropriations Committee has given its blessing to a measure that would fund aviation workforce development. It now goes for a full vote.

Forty aviation and aerospace groups sent a letter to leaders of the U.S. Department of Transportation and Office of Management and Budget in support of a pilot education grant program and an aviation technical workforce grant program. In response, the House Appropriations Committee has approved $5 million in funding for Fiscal Year 2020 and authorized the programs for five years, as proposed in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018.
