Traditional academic models, while necessary, can’t bridge the gap fast enough between the specific and diverse degrees offered by colleges and universities and the professional skills and standardized knowledge required to sustain the rapid growth of the space ecosystem. This competitive ecosystem will require a diverse workforce from the many professional disciplines stemming from both technical schools and traditional 4-year universities. Individuals and organizations must embrace skills-based professional development programs to remain competitive in the space economy, especially as space-experienced human talent becomes more and more scarce.

The question is, which workforce development model is the most effective and efficient?
