Flying Over Barriers: How Drones Create Opportunities in Underserved Communities

Communities that are underrepresented in tech and aviation are missing out—but drones are opening doors.

What Barriers Look Like

• High cost of entry (licenses, gear)

• Lack of visibility or mentorship

• Not enough awareness of career paths

What Is Changing

• Drone delivery programs launching across Texas (DFW) bring jobs, tech, and exposure to communities that rarely see this.

• The average FAA Part 107 pilot salary ($130,900/year) means opportunities for financial uplift.

• Job listings are growing in varied sectors: delivery, inspections, security, real estate, etc.

Military-Like Discipline & Skills Being Taught

• Workshop training offers course work, prep, community

• Once people get certified, they can partner with local governments, security firms, schools
