I. Introduction:
Workforce Solutions Borderplex (WSB) is requesting quotes for comprehensive drone training services designed specifically for law enforcement, public sector employees, and military personnel. There are limited drone training courses in El Paso and none that focus on a real-world industrial approach. This training would initiate a pipeline of drone operators to fill the growing demand in the local workforce.
II. Project Overview:
The drone training services must encompass preparation for the FAA Part 107 test and certification for remote pilots. Additionally, it should cover the practical use of drones in both commercial and public safety contexts, focusing on professional applications rather than hobbyist use. The program should address a range of industries and operational requirements. The program must also incorporate hands-on drone flight and simulations to provide real-world experience. This program will use blended funds including WIOA, Pathways, and others, depending on student eligibility and type of fund availability.
