 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Aviation Minority Workforce Development Act of 2023

This bill requires the Department of Transportation to establish a grant program to increase racial and gender minority access and representation in the aviation workforce. Grants may be provided to minority-serving institutions (e.g., historically Black colleges and universities) and a consortium of one or more institutions of higher education that has a partnership with an aviation company or industry association, a labor-management organization, or other specified entity.

The grants must be used to

  • facilitate the creation of programs that educate and train students;
  • increase access to, and the availability of, resources at existing aviation workforce programs;
  • assist students with education, apprenticeship, internship, transportation, and certification costs; and
  • increase student outreach and recruitment.
