Space Workforce 2030 (SWF2030) is a growing coalition of leading companies committed to collaboratively working toward a shared vision of expanding and diversifying opportunities for talent to join the exciting space industry.
As part of this commitment, SWF2030 companies have pledged to significantly increase the number of diverse interns with a goal of hiring at least 3,000 interns by summer 2030.
