In collaboration with the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has worked with industry leaders to develop a comprehensive competency model for the aerospace industry. The model is designed to evolve along with changing skill requirements. AIA and NDIA have committed to working with their industry partners to keep the model current.
