ENROLLMENT INFORMATION  

It is anticipated Crew Chief training enrollment will commence the fall of 2009 provided the construction of the space station pilot project module is completed. Only thirty trainees will be admitted to the program. Thirty Crew Chiefs will be hired full time when the full facility is completed (scheduled 2011); therefore, all trainees successfully completing the two year program are almost certainly going to have a job when facility construction is complete. Applicants for the Crew Chief Training Program will be considered in the order in which their applications are received. Early application is recommended. Please review the CREW CHIEF TRAINEE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS page following this information page. If you do not currently meet the minimum requirements but will by the fall of 2009 when enrollment begins you may submit the application form now to secure your place on the list by noting on those appropriate areas of the form that you will meet minimum requirements by 2009 and will submit required verification by that time.

Crew Chiefs hired by SCTC will be the mentors and instructors for new student crew members enrolling in the SCTC program. Crew Chiefs will receive full time pay (starting $28,000 per year) and benefits along with room and board, required apparel, three free round trip (simulation) space plane tickets annually for earth leave, and $1,000 credit annually for Distance Learning Courses earning college credits. Crew Chiefs will live on the simulated space station as do students and will serve as senior crew on space missions to the off station colony bases. Some limited family accommodations will be available to Crew Chiefs on the permanent space station, but not on the pilot project training facility.

If interested please complete and submit the CREW CHIEF TRAINEE APPLICATION FORM following this page. Your name will then be placed on our candidate list. Submitting an application does not guarantee admittance into the program.
