Shaping the Future Space Workforce: A Holistic Approach to Innovation and Inclusion

In an era where the space industry is rapidly evolving, preparing a diverse and skilled workforce for the challenges and opportunities ahead is more critical than ever. The Women’s Global Gathering Luncheon at the Space Symposium presents a unique panel discussion titled “Shaping the Future Space Workforce: A Holistic Approach to Innovation and Inclusion,” designed to spark a progressive and organic conversation on the future of the space workforce.

This panel brings together a distinguished array of leaders from across sectors — including governmental agencies like NASA and the USSF, industry giants, groundbreaking startups, and now, a proposed addition from the academic or non-profit sector specializing in STEM education, workforce development, or space policy. This diverse representation ensures a dynamic exchange of ideas, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted challenges and opportunities in developing the space workforce.

The discussion aims to bridge gaps between education and industry, highlight successful models of inclusivity and innovation, and explore policy recommendations that support workforce development. By incorporating perspectives that span from the strategic to the practical, from policy to education, this panel seeks to outline a forward-looking strategy that prepares individuals for the critical future of space exploration and defense and ensures that the space workforce is as diverse, innovative, and resilient as the missions it undertakes.

Join us for an engaging dialogue that promises to offer insights, strategies, and inspiration for anyone interested in the future of space exploration and defense, as well as the development of a workforce capable of reaching new frontiers.
