Antelope Valley College has been awarded the NASA Aerospace Skilled Technical Workforce Hub Grant and will serve as the lead institution for the Southern California NASA Aerospace Skilled Technical Workforce Hub.

In partnership with Pasadena City College and MiraCosta College, the three-year regional consortium will strengthen Southern California's aerospace workforce pipeline by developing and expanding industry-aligned education, work-based learning opportunities, and career pathways that prepare students for high-demand technical careers supporting NASA and the aerospace industry.

The Hub will collaborate with NASA, aerospace industry partners, K-12 Career Technical Education programs, and regional workforce development organizations to align education and training with industry workforce needs while creating sustainable pathways into aerospace careers. The initiative will also develop and share innovative curriculum models and workforce strategies that can benefit community colleges throughout California.
