Quick Question – Emerging Tech & Inspector Skills
June 02, 2021
On May 13, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released an assessment of FAA workforce planning (for full coverage, visit arsa.org/gao-workforce). In an appendix to the report, the GAO included a list and description of four key emerging technologies identified through its research.
ARSA’s position is that FAA (and industry) workforce development shouldn’t be responsive to specific technologies but instead include means for constant assessment of needed knowledge and skills. As part of that larger discussion, the association requests feedback about the specific areas highlighted by the GAO – and additions to the list – via this month’s “quick question”:
