Minnesota’s aerospace future is taking flight—with NASA naming the state one of seven new workforce hubs nationwide. A $1.5 million investment will train up to 2,400 students at Minnesota State and partner colleges in high-demand skills like welding, robotics, and avionics, plus offer apprenticeships and internships that lead directly to jobs. Meanwhile, 1,000–1,400 high schoolers will get exposure through hands-on programs, while educators are being trained to expand aerospace curriculum statewide. The job market? Strong—over 8,000 openings from 2024 to 2026, 99% requiring no bachelor’s degree, with average salaries around $62,000. This is Minnesota building its own skilled aerospace workforce, right here at home.
