Building the Space Workforce series: Workshop 2 - Connecting Students to Spaceports

Building the Space Workforce Workshop 2 - Connecting Students to Spaceports and Spaceports to Students
Building the Future Space Workforce webinar series by Global Spaceport Alliance (GSA) and Spaceport America and sponsored by Jacobs.
In cooperation with Spaceport America and under the guidance of its Academic Partnership Working Group, the Global Spaceport Alliance hosted a series of virtual workshops designed to provide practical #workforce readiness instructions to #students interested in #careers in the space sectors.
Connecting Students to Spaceports and Spaceports to Students
This workshop will include several different speakers who will discuss how spaceports can engage with universities and their students. The Spaceport America Cup™ is one vehicle, but many other opportunities exist. Speakers will share examples of what spaceports are doing or hope to do in collaboration with universities, and how such joint efforts can be enhanced. This session will serve to foster those connections.
