National Geospatial Innovation Hub Advancement Act of 2024

S 5024, the National Geospatial Innovation Hub Advancement Act of 2024, requires the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program developing a skilled geospatial workforce for defense needs. The program partners with colleges near National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) facilities to create training, education, and certification pathways in geospatial technology. It mandates U.S. citizenship for participants, prioritizes locations with Defense installations, and requires annual reports on workforce demand, program progress, and economic impact. The pilot runs until 2030, aiming to boost local economic growth and support DoD operations through targeted workforce development.
