American Marconi Wireless News - Uplift Training Curriculum Approved by Florida Department of Education

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / January 6, 2026 / Uplift Training, Inc., through its subsidiary Uplift Aerospace, announced today that its Starborn Academy Curriculum has been approved by the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) as part of the 2025-2026 Florida Career and Technical Education (CTE) Instructional Materials Adoption.

This approval places Uplift Training's curriculum on Florida's state adoption list, enabling districts to easily procure the virtual reality (VR)-powered curriculum as a state-vetted instructional option for a five-year period beginning with the 2026-2027 school year.

"Florida's adoption process is among the nation's most rigorous, with submissions from the world's largest publishers," said Josh Hanes, CEO of Uplift Aerospace. "This approval validates our VR-powered, workforce-ready curriculum and positions Uplift to scale quickly across one of America's largest education markets. We're also expanding into new training and trades markets through our recent partnership with ABC Institute, Florida's largest trades apprenticeship provider."

Why it matters:

• Immediate statewide expansion: Uplift is beginning outreach across Florida, one of the nation's largest education markets, to support districts with the adopted high-school curriculum, alongside supplemental programming including Moon Mission, Starborn VR experiences, Kennedy Space Center trips, and pressurized spacesuit training.

• Long-term adoption window: Resulting contracts from this adoption cycle have a standard 5-year agreement term, starting in 2026.

• Scaling to new workforce development markets: Uplift Training is expanding into other educational and workforce development markets. This includes its recent partnership with ABC Institute, which is the largest trades apprenticeship provider in the state of Florida.
