The Sky’s the Limit in the Drone Industry!
The global market for business services using drones is expected to soar from $2 billion now to more than $127 billion in 2020, PwC reports.
Harper College, in partnership with Vortex UAS, is excited to offer you a free 10-minute drone test-fly. Take the controls yourself; spend some time observing other drone newbies; and learn from a Vortex UAS expert what it takes to become a drone pilot. You may just find that it’s time to launch a new career in a drone service business.
