The Miami Maintenance Management Council (MMMC) is providing
support for a Focus Group meeting for the Aerospace Resource
Center (ARC). The ARC is working on a needs assessment of
the aerospace industry in Florida. The intent of this effort
is to address with industry professionals the immediate as
well as emerging workforce training requirements from companies
around the state. This particular focus group targets aviation-related
industry in South Florida—to include the greater Miami-Dade

The Aerospace Resource
Center is a joint venture of Florida Community College at
Jacksonville and Brevard Community College in Cocoa that
targets the continuing demand for skilled workers by Florida’s
aerospace workforce. Its mission is to provide training,
certification, and support for the expansion of Florida’s
aviation and space industries. Besides crafting relevant
curricula that address technological advances and changing
workforce skills requirements, the Center engages in business
incubation initiatives, skills identification and credentialing,
industry pipeline development, and current as well as future
economic development of the aerospace industry.

Identifying
core competencies common to all aerospace workers by establishing
industry focus groups.
