About Us
The Aerospace Education Program Alliance represents the interests of aerospace education programs. The AEPA is bringing aerospace education programs together, giving these programs a collective voice so they can better help youth pursue careers in aerospace. Aerospace education programs have been inspiring and preparing students for the workforce for decades. These programs are a critical part of the nation’s need to build a robust workforce. Aerospace education programs, while part of the STEM/workforce pipeline, have been operating independently. The pipeline is narrow and leaky. We are not getting enough students through the pipeline to address the workforce need. The AEPA is focused on bringing aerospace education programs together to plug the leaks and expand the number of students in the STEM/workforce pipeline. Accomplishing this goal is critical for the U.S. economic competitiveness and national security.
AEPA Aviation & Aerospace Workforce Summit
The Summit will bring together the key sectors of industry, government and education to identify issues in the aviation and aerospace workforce and develop solutions. Sectors and groups have been attempting to solve the workforce issue on their own. No single organization or sector has all the all the knowledge, expertise or perspective to solve the workforce issue. This Summit will bring the expertise and experience from all of these groups to identify and develop solutions to the aerospace workforce issue collaboratively.
The Summit will have three areas of innovation: (1) It will bring together civil (general) aviation, aerospace & defense and Space; (2) It will involve the participants as direct contributors addressing issues and solutions; and (3) It will have a follow up plan to address the national aviation and aerospace issues and implement solutions at the local and regional levels.
