Addressing a national shortage in engineering talent, particularly operators and technicians, the nonprofit Engineering Tomorrow collaborates with Boeing and MIT’s Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) alumni to provide no-cost engineering labs to middle and high school students. This initiative exposes young learners to real-world aerospace applications, intended to sustain interest past initial curiosity and counter challenges such as math-related intimidation.
Boeing's long-term engagement with MIT LGO facilitates internships and plant visits that connect aspiring engineers directly with industry professionals. This model fosters awareness of diverse career pathways within engineering and helps cultivate a competitive U.S. workforce in aerospace and related technical fields.
