    Help Wanted: Space Colonists Need To Be More Than Astronauts By G. B. Leatherwood, Space.com
    One suggestion is to start looking at the high school and community college programs for the trades. For example, in Hernando County, Florida, a new high school is in its third year of vocational and technical skills curricula. A new chapter of NSS is being considered by this school for those who might be interested in doing what they now do, but in space. Another suggestion is that the trade and crafts labor organizations be enlisted to research and develop apprenticeship programs for their members.
