Drone Apprenticeship Program

This program will provide virtual STEM-based sessions that expose students to drone technology and other sophisticated technologies via virtual platforms. These platforms use project-based designs dedicated to preparing and introducing participants to in-demand employment opportunities.⁣

The cohorts provide our youth with opportunities to obtain certifications via the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and participate in Drone racing competitions when it is safe to do so. ⁣

Sessions for students who are interested in STEM-related fields and careers will take place virtually. Instructors will apply concepts in a fun and interactive way! ⁣
