We owe our current prosperity, security, and good health to the investments of past generations, and we are obliged to renew those commitments in education, research, and innovation policies.

HISS actively participates in training the next generation of aerospace engineers. We provide opportunities for college students and job seekers through internships, mentoring programs, and workforce development. In collaboration with NASA, non-profits, local governments, community colleges, and universities, HISS provides STEM undergraduate courses and research opportunities, as well as re-training programs for entry into aerospace technician careers. Many of our programs are targeted at increasing minority and veteran participation in aerospace, defense, and homeland security disciplines.
