According to CCTV Finance, the 48th WorldSkills Competition has for the first time introduced a "Drone Systems" event.
Chinese contestant Zeng Chen is not only required to fly, but also to complete assembly, debugging, programming, and control from scratch. Behind him, teachers specializing in programming, assembly, psychology, physical fitness, and other areas work together to provide support.
The industry is now in urgent need of versatile drone talent who understand assembly and can program. Many outstanding graduates are locked in by companies before they even graduate, with highly attractive salaries.
From January to August this year, the number of drone engineer job postings rose 26% year-on-year, with an average monthly salary of 16,149 yuan. The scale of drone swarm flight planner positions has grown nearly eightfold over the past five years.
