With the drone industry facing a talent shortage, and a lack of skilled, professional or qualified operators, Skysys and Ocean Aviation have signed an agreement in September to develop, launch and promote a UAV simulation training system & program for nationwide use.

The UAV training program will be offered to over 500 vocational colleges and universities across China, to be integrated with national school resources.

By cultivating high-quality professional UAV talents, the overall aim is to deliver a positive impact on colleges and universities, enterprises, and industry.

For educational institutions, they can use the nationwide simulation platform to allow students to transform theory into practical operations, and experience the role of drones in smart cities and new energy. This helps students keep up with the pace of the industry and build them into all-round talents for fully automatic drone operations.

For enterprises, by sharing resources with educational institutions and universities, an ecosystem can be created to help develop cutting-edge technologies and achievements in the drone industry, enhancing competitiveness. By nurturing students for the industry, enterprises can also hire talents from the ecosystem at the same time.

For industry, the training program solves the issue of a lack of talents and professionalism in the UAV industry. It also will help UAV quickly adapt to new industry standards and aid industrial digitalization.

Skysys will maintain close collaboration with industry, academia and research, contributing with its R&D and innovation experience, developing to support market trends, meet industry needs, and rely on the support of talents to promote fully automatic drone systems in the industry.

The move is to help create a harmonious and symbiotic development and application environment for the drone industry.
