This is an exciting time for humanity. It is embarking on ever more ambitious enterprises to expand our presence throughout the earth’s atmosphere, low-earth orbit and beyond. All environments above the earth’s surface are a continuum from earth’s atmosphere into the depths of space. Opportunities across aerospace and aviation disciplines are numerous and beyond simply creating “pilots” to fly commercial airlines. We understand that there is an emerging economy across these domains above the earth’s surface that includes high-altitude observations, low-earth-orbit services utilizing distributed small satellite systems for earth observations, space-based power generation and transfer, telecommunications and CIS-lunar command and control.

Columbia Training Centers endeavors to deploy capacity building strategies to incubate underrepresented individuals to intersect these opportunity spaces. We achieve this by using the combination of flight training, aviation exposure and STEM-focused programming to enhance representation in the aerospace and aviation work force.

Below is a highlight of some of our existing initiatives. We are in process of developing other new exciting STEM opportunities across the aviation-aerospace continuum. Inquire for more details.
