Thanks to a grant from the Higher Education Coordinating Commission, OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences is partnering with Colorado State University to offer drone piloting and mapping classes to students and community members for free.

The hands-on trainings are spread across the state with options in Bend, Corvallis and Pendleton through late June. There are also online training opportunities so people can tune in from anywhere in Oregon. No prior experience is required; classes are capped at 18 people, and participants must be at least 18 to join.

To better ensure graduating students have the skills and experience needed to secure jobs in ocean-related industries, Oregon State University is hosting a free Blue Economy Workforce Development Workshop in Newport on May 8.

For National Student Employment Week this week, Oregon State University is celebrating student workers and all they bring to the institution — as well as all they gain from their experiences here. 

As students face an increasingly uncertain job market, OSU’s Career Development Center is making it easier for instructors and professors to incorporate career lessons into their courses and to ensure students have the skills employers are looking for in job candidates.
