For anyone working in the tech industry, it pays to stay attentive to what's coming next. That's just as true for a workforce solutions provider that helps businesses and professionals in tech work together as it is for those professionals themselves. With an eye on the trends likely to overtake the tech world in the coming years, Talent 101 has just announced a new business relationship with Camber.
The Camber Corporation serves as project manager for a new and groundbreaking project being undertaken by the Federal Aviation Administration, in partnership with Texas A&M University. Seeing the vast potential of growth in the market for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), all involved parties have banded together to provide the research and development that will get this technology into the hands of the many businesses that can benefit from it.
UAS technology may currently be primarily associated with its military uses, but the professionals and organizations committed to this project see possibilities for it far beyond its current iterations.
From precision agriculture, to water management, to port security – experts anticipate over 300 possible commercial uses for UAS technology. Every one of those uses is likely to fuel new businesses, if not entire industries, around the use of UAS devices.
That's good for the Texas economy and great for the many tech professionals that will see new jobs of many types being created to fuel the need.
In working with Camber and their partners, Talent 101 is diving headfirst into an area of tech projected to have huge growth in the coming years. The infant industry is already worth $11.3 billion and predicted to see explosive growth in coming years.
Just as important for the tech talent the company represents, the job opportunities that will accompany that growth are anticipated to be both numerous and lucrative. New industries will mean a proliferation of new businesses that will need a steady stream of brilliant minds to step in and help develop the tech and innovate to make it better.
To take advantage of these new opportunities, potential candidates should focus on expertise in IT business analysis, coding, engineering, process development and infrastructure project management. Those who already have a background in any of those areas should especially keep an eye out for opportunities in UAS, many of which will be opening up in South Texas.
Due to the variety in industries likely to be interested in UAS technology, Talent 101 foresees a wide range of positions companies will have a need for. Amongst the job titles expected are:
Facilities Modification/Coordinator
HAZMAT and Materials Specialist
Independent Verification and Validation Specialist
Process Support Coordinator
Quality Safety Engineer
Software Engineer
As a recent video introducing the details of the project Camber will be working on with the FAA and A&M makes clear, the excitement of the professionals and organizations involved is palpable. Ron George says,"The integration of unmanned aircraft into the US air space is definitely a Kitty Hawk moment for the history of aviation...We're talking about a multi-billion dollar economic impact here." And according to Rick Lynch, "It's been estimated that it could create at least 100,000 jobs and be an $80 billion dollar industry."
Talent 101 shares this excitement and is thrilled to play a role in helping make connections between the individuals and organizations that are shaping our future.
