The UAS Cluster Initiative and the Oklahoma City Innovation District hosted a working session designed to dig deeply into the workforce strengths and opportunities facing the emerging aerospace industry in Oklahoma. The results of this session are now published the Aerospace Innovative Training Symposium: Emerging Workforce Session Summary, which may be downloaded here.

Building sustainable and inclusive regional growth is ambitious, and requires participation across the community. We will need creative actors and strategic thinkers, researchers, teachers, volunteers, mentors, investors, and communicators. We are asking you to collaborate with us on building the supportive ecosystem our entrepreneurs and innovative companies need. Additionally, we are asking you to raise your hand to develop the many stand-alone projects or good ideas identified in our work to date.

Together we can achieve so much more.
