NMC RECEIVES $90,000 FAA GRANT

NOTES & NOTABLES

NMC has received a $90,000 aviation workforce development grant to train 40 high school teachers in Unmanned Aerial Systems fundamentals, as well as equip each with a multi-rotor unit to use with their own students.

The grant is intended to address the need for operators and technicians in the growing UAS field. NMC has been a leader in UAS since 2010, with graduates currently working in all aspects of the industry.

SOLVING THE WORKFORCE PUZZLE

NMC is working with other regional leaders to solve the workforce puzzle, but it’s proving tricky. Complex, interlocking factors including a skills gap, a lack of child care and attainable housing, transportation issues, broadband internet gaps and an aging population, all exacerbated by COVID-19, have created structural instability that threatens economic growth and quality of life.
