Career Technical Education

Did you know? US public high school CTE STEM programs have seen a significant decline in female participation over the last five years?

A Drone Pilot salary at min. can be $50K/yr. and is a great immediate entry way into the career pathways of Aviation, Aerospace and Aeronautics or continued Education in those respective fields. The commercial UAV industry is currently experiencing a labor deficit as businesses struggle to find qualified UAV professionals to fill open positions.

Our Mission

We strive to create a diverse and inclusive STEAM career pathway for women and girl next-gen Drone Pilots by creating access to tech led education and career opportunities within the multi-billion dollar drone industry.

Currently there are over 250K FAA Certified Commercial  Drone Pilots in the US only 5% are women and less than 3% are women of color. The quit rate of women in workforce is almost twice as high as that of men. In 2018, the number of women who left their STEM jobs was 53%. In comparison, that number for men was only 31%.
