INDUSTRY INFORMATION

The Aerospace Industry is thriving in West Virginia thanks to the state’s abundant access to a trained workforce and access to markets.  West Virginia’s centralized location puts businesses that build within the state at a strategic advantage because much of the nation’s top domestic purchasing sectors are accessible by ground transportation in one day or less.

Furthermore, the Robert C. Byrd National Aerospace Education Center, Pierpont Community and Technical College’s Business Aviation and Technology School, and West Virginia University’s award-winning Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering program support the industry’s growing employment needs.
