Aviation WORKS Act
The Aviation WORKS Act (S 368) expands federal funding to support workforce development in aviation manufacturing and related industries. It creates four new grant programs providing $20 million annually (2024-2028) for: (1) aviation companies designing/producing aircraft components with FAA approvals, (2) schools offering aviation manufacturing programs, (3) workforce partnerships connecting industry and education, and (4) planning for regional aviation training initiatives. These grants fund technical training, scholarships, apprenticeships, career outreach to underrepresented groups, and support for veterans transitioning to aviation careers. The bill directly affects aviation manufacturers, educational institutions with aviation programs, and industry partnerships seeking to build workforce pipelines.
