on whether, and the degree to which, the Federal Aviation
Administration's workforce development programs authorized in
section 625 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Public
Law 115-254) have: (1) helped to expand the pool of
prospective applicants to the industry; (2) strengthened
aviation programs at minority-serving institutions, public
institutions of higher education, and public postsecondary
vocational institutions; and (3) encouraged the participation
of populations that are underrepresented in the aviation
workforce, including women, minorities, and individuals in
economically disadvantaged geographic areas and rural
communities. In submitting this report, the Federal Aviation
Administration shall also provide recommendations on how it
can better use its workforce development grant programs to:
(1) expand the pool of prospective applicants to the

serving institutions, public institutions of higher
education, and public postsecondary vocational institutions;
and (3) encouraged the participation of populations that are
