SPACE IN THE SPRINGS
Colorado Springs holds this significant role in space and is home to some amazing, cleared talent to recruit. In addition to being the home of the permanent headquarters of U.S. Space Command, it has a strong military presence with five installations, including Peterson Space Force Base. The region hosts Space Operations Command, NORAD, and U.S. Northern Command, among others.
The aerospace and defense sector contributes significantly to the local economy, with a $7 billion annual impact and over 250 aerospace companies in the city, one of the highest concentrations of defense contractors and aerospace companies nationwide.
A skilled workforce is in high supply – the city benefits from a highly skilled workforce, including a substantial veteran population with valuable military experience relevant to the aerospace and defense industry.
