Description
The contractors to NASA and the Air Force at Cape Canaveral Spaceport in Florida, teach and train new aerospace technicians specialized job skills on a continuing basis. They provide over 3000 courses, taking from a few hours to several weeks to complete. However, learning the history, culture, building locations and vocabulary specific to the Cape can take years. It has been estimated that it costs from $40,000 to $80,000 to fully train an aerospace technician. This large cost and long lead-time in technician training are the reasons Brevard Community College (BCC) was asked to teach “The Right Stuff.”
