## Resource

NASA’s investing $10.5 million over three years to boost Texas’ aerospace workforce, targeting skilled trades like welding and mechanics as experienced workers retire and shortages loom. Led by the Texas Space Commission, the initiative partners with schools, colleges, and companies across seven states, launching in Houston before expanding to West Texas and the Rio Grande Valley. A new digital hub, TAP+, will connect job seekers with internships, apprenticeships, and scholarships. With over 150,000 Texans already employed in aerospace, officials aim for measurable success within the first year — or risk losing out on critical growth opportunities.
