About our work:

Student Apprenticeships in Aerospace Advanced Manufacturing

MUREP High-Volume, in partnership with industry, academia and other organizations, will focus on creating a network of scientists, engineers, and business analysts, to explore opportunities for innovation in the aerospace high volume manufacturing supply chain. FIU will identify post-secondary education strategies to develop talent for the current and emerging aerospace needs, contribute to the development of a diverse aerospace workforce by offering training opportunities to students, largely from underrepresented and underserved groups for the aerospace manufacturing industry. The student apprenticeships will involve developing manufacturing capacity in avionics at FIU to support the advanced air mobility supply chain.
