Scott found himself in need of retraining after experiencing a layoff from the lending industry. He knew he needed to develop a new skill set in order to secure lasting employment. After weeks of research and career planning, Scott selected the DroneAviate program to work towards becoming a Certified AA Drone Pilot. WIOA Dislocated Worker funding covered Scott’s tuition, exam fees, and transportation costs. It wasn’t easy, but Scott was able to complete his training program and pass his licensure exam. Scott is now fully engaged in the job search process and credits his case manager, Jan Paul, for helping him gain access to the exciting field of drone flying.
