As the members know, the adequacy and size of the nation's STEM workforce continues to be an ongoing concern for the aerospace and defense (A&D) community. The sector faces impending retirements and a shortage of trained technical graduates while work and skills requirements become increasingly advanced. More and more companies are attempting to improve quality and boost productivity by automating their facilities. Furthermore, because of a stringent visa process, many highly skilled, foreign-born students who have been educated at US colleges and universities must return to their home countries to work. This removes a lucrative workforce who could otherwise help drive US entrepreneurship and economic growth.
