Accelerate to Industry: A Discussion of Workforce Opportunities and Higher Education in the UAS Sector

The University of North Dakota School of Graduate Studies in collaboration with UAS Magazine, hosts a panel discussion of workforce and research opportunities, present and future, in the UAS sector. This vibrant sector is rapidly expanding in North Dakota, where the open skies provide a multitude of one-of-a-kind workforce, research and testing opportunities at the forefront of the UAS sector. While drones and pilots with joysticks tend to dominate the popular understanding of work in UAS, the opportunities in the sector require a broad and diverse range of talent and skillsets. Each panelist occupies a key role in the development and expansion of the UAS sector. Join us in the conversation and hear from multiple stakeholders and points of view in this wide-ranging discussion on cutting-edge work in the UAS sector.
