Already this year, a new curriculum “Civil Drone Operator” will be introduced in vocational schools. The Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov spoke about this.
“Being able to control a civilian drone is extremely important for Ukraine today. These drones are used during sowing, in rescue operations, mine clearance, they help assess the damage from military operations, and journalists use them to document the war,” the minister said.
Initially, the new program “Civil Drone Operator” will appear in 7 educational institutions in Lviv, Dnepropetrovsk, Kyiv, Kirovograd, Nikolaev, Sumy and Chernihiv regions. The Ukrainian authorities, with the support of the European Union, have already purchased drones for practical training and trained teachers who will now be able to teach students in this program.
In the future, it is planned to expand the list of vocational schools that offer the “Civil Drone Operator” program, as well as to approve an educational standard that will allow students to fully prepare students for this profession.
Let us remind you that last year a free course on training UAV engineers appeared on the Prometheus platform.
