California-based eVTOL developer Joby Aviation has partnered with New York City’s Aviation High School to help prepare the next generation of aircraft engineers for “the electric age of flight,” the company announced this week. 

With Joby and several competing firms planning to operate thousands of eVTOL air taxis before the end of this decade, there will be an increasing need for engineers, maintenance technicians, and other types of aviation professionals. Through this new partnership with Joby, students at Aviation High School will have the chance to get a head start in the burgeoning eVTOL industry.
