Workforce Training
Strategically aligned with target industries, workforce training builds practical skills immediately applicable to our economy. Local businesses benefit from a winning combination of talent, business support, and skills programs delivering value.
Science, Math, Technology and Engineering Training
The presence of Naval Support Center Indian Head—and proximity to all major federal and military installations within a 40 mile radius—speaks to the value of scientific and technological capabilities within our workforce. In direct response to the need for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) capabilities, our public schools offer first-rate career and technology education.
The College of Southern Maryland’ s Institute for STEM teaches tomorrow’s skills today.
The Velocity Center at Indian Head, a 15,000-plus-square foot development project aligned with base initiatives, will lend workforce training support to federal contractors and technology firms alike.
