Description
This mcra AAM education program will inspire, engage, educate, and employ the next generation of explorers in west virginia and appalachia for the future jobs in the AAM marketplace. Today, many industries are now developing and leveraging drone technologies to advance the delivery of goods and services from healthcare use cases to infrastructure inspection use cases, to first responder and natural disaster deployment use cases, and with more applications of these technologies yet to be discovered. All these uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) activities and operations will create significant job opportunities for those who are prepared as this market realizes significant growth over the next decade. Mingo county, where coal mining once provided sufficient economic opportunity for families, is now an underrepresented group without equal opportunity within our school systems and with significant challenges in achieving economic development for the jobs of the future.
