Strengthening the Space Coast Workforce
Through Skills Training and Apprenticeships

The Space Coast’s aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing industries depend on a workforce equipped with the technical skills employers need today and as production technologies evolve.

The Aerospace and Defense Training Center (ADTC) Space Coast, located in Titusville, Florida, helps meet this need through accelerated, hands-on technical training and customized workforce development.

ADTC offers training in areas including CNC machining, advanced composites, aerospace assembly, electronics, and manufacturing fundamentals.

Our programs prepare individuals for employment by building practical, job-ready skills. We also help employers develop new talent and upskill their existing workforce through training tailored to specific production needs.

ADTC also complements the Space Coast Consortium Apprenticeship Program (SCCAP). Hosted by SpaceTEC Partners, Inc., SCCAP is a Florida-registered apprenticeship program combining technical instruction with structured, on-the-job learning. Its occupational pathways include advanced CNC machining, mechatronics, fiber composites, and additive manufacturing.

Together, ADTC and SCCAP support complementary approaches to workforce development: accelerated technical skills training, employer-focused upskilling, and structured apprenticeship pathways.

Our shared focus is connecting skills, employers, and career opportunities to help strengthen the Space Coast’s aerospace and advanced manufacturing workforce.

POWERING THE REGION’S MANUFACTURING FUTURE.

As the demand for skilled workers grows, employers are looking beyond hiring alone and investing in the talent already on their teams.

That is where ADTC and the Space Coast Consortium Apprenticeship Program (SCCAP) play an important role in strengthening the Space Coast workforce.

ADTC equips today’s workforce with manufacturing skills through accelerated classroom learning and hands-on training, helping employers upskill existing employees and prepare candidates for careers in advanced manufacturing.

SCCAP extends that workforce development through a State of Florida registered apprenticeship program offering opportunities in Mechatronics Technician, Advanced CNC Machinist, Fiber Composite Technician, Aerospace Welding Technician, and Additive Manufacturing.

Together, ADTC and SCCAP connect accelerated training, hands-on learning, and registered apprenticeship opportunities to the skills Space Coast employers need.

And this challenge extends well beyond our region.

General Motors recently launched Stars, Stripes and Skilled Trades, a national initiative connecting transitioning service members, veterans and military families with careers in automotive manufacturing and skilled trades. GM plans to provide $100,000–$500,000 grants to up to 12 nonprofit workforce programs.

The message is clear: skilled talent is essential to the future of American manufacturing. For the Space Coast, that work is already underway.

Workforce development is economic development.
