美国国家航天局（NASA）建立州级中心以壮大航空航天技术人才队伍

美国国家航天局（NASA）已向七家机构拨款约1050万美元，旨在帮助加强并简化学生进入航空航天业技术岗位的州级途径。

NASA has awarded approximately $10.5 million to seven institutions to help strengthen and streamline state-based pathways for students into skilled technical jobs in the aerospace industry.

这些奖项是通过新的NASA航空航天技术人才中心（NASA Aerospace Skilled Technical Workforce Hubs）倡议，即NASA州级中心（NASA State Hubs）颁发的。这项对州级生态系统的投资旨在加速技术岗位的开发，以满足太空产业对人才的需求。

The awards were made through the new NASA Aerospace Skilled Technical Workforce Hubs initiative, or NASA State Hubs. This investment in state ecosystems is designed to accelerate the development of technical roles to meet the talent demands of the space industry.

“对技术人才的需求已经十分迫切，随着我们重返月球（Moon）并将目光投向火星（Mars）及更远的地方，这种需求只会持续增长，”NASA华盛顿总部STEM参与办公室副局长Elaine Ho表示。“NASA处于独特的地位，可以作为催化剂和召集者，加速美国的航空航天人才队伍建设，并培养下一代技术人员。”

“The need for technical talent is already urgent and will only continue to grow as we return humanity to the Moon and set our sights on Mars and beyond,” said Elaine Ho, associate administrator for the Office of STEM Engagement at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “NASA is uniquely positioned to be the catalyst and convener that accelerates America’s aerospace workforce development and fosters the next generation of technicians.”

新获选的NASA州级中心分布在七个州，将作为战略召集者发挥作用，协调行业雇主、社区学院、高中职业与技术教育项目以及劳动力系统，以促进学生进入高需求的技术岗位，包括焊工、电工、机械师以及其他在职业中使用先进STEM知识和技术技能的高素质工人。

The newly awarded NASA State Hubs, represented across seven states, will function as strategic conveners that align industry employers, community colleges, high school career and technical education programs, and workforce systems to facilitate bringing students into high‑demand technical jobs, including welders, electricians, machinists, and other highly trained workers who use advanced STEM knowledge and technical skills in their occupations.

在未来三年内，获选组织将创建项目，培养行业领袖确定的关键技能，通过教育和学徒制阐明职业路径，并建立雇主与求职者之间的联系。

Over the next three years, the selected organizations will create programs that build critical skills identified by industry leaders, illuminate career pathways through education and apprenticeships, and build connections between employers and job seekers.

获选组织包括：

The awarded organizations are:

- 加利福尼亚州兰开斯特的羚羊谷社区学院区（Antelope Valley Community College District）

- Antelope Valley Community College District in Lancaster, California

- 佐治亚理工学院研究公司（Georgia Tech Research Corporation）

- Georgia Tech Research Corporation

- 明尼苏达州立学院与大学系统（Minnesota State Colleges and Universities）

- Minnesota State Colleges and Universities

- 南犹他大学（Southern Utah University）

- Southern Utah University

- 太空佛罗里达（Space Florida）

- Space Florida

- 科罗拉多州利特尔顿的社区学院与职业教育州委员会，阿拉帕霍社区学院（State Board for Community Colleges and Occupation Education, Arapahoe Community College）

- State Board for Community Colleges and Occupation Education, Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, Colorado

- 德克萨斯州太空委员会（Texas Space Commission）

- Texas Space Commission

NASA州级中心的合作协议由STEM参与办公室通过其下一代STEM项目（Next Gen STEM Project）资助。STEM参与办公室通过提升国家的科研能力、建立技术专长以及加强对航空航天领域的参与来推进NASA的使命。下一代STEM项目通过战略伙伴关系和竞争性奖项，培养推动我们探索与创新黄金时代所需的关键技能，从而为高中生和社区学院学生做好未来航空航天职业的准备，进而扩大这一影响。

NASA State Hubs cooperative agreements are funded by the Office of STEM Engagement through its Next Gen STEM Project. The Office of STEM Engagement advances NASA’s mission by boosting the nation’s research capacity, building technical expertise, and strengthening participation in aerospace fields. The Next Gen STEM project extends this impact by preparing high school and community college students for future aerospace careers through strategic partnerships and competitive awards that develop the vital skills needed to power our Golden Age of exploration and innovation.
