High School
For some positions, such as assemblers and fabricators, and welders, cutters, solderers, and brazers, a high school diploma and on-the-job training may be sufficient. A good foundation for most drone manufacturing jobs includes classes in mathematics, science, computer science, English, and communications. Take machine shop classes if you are interested in working with the parts and components of drones; this will give you good exposure to working with machines and hand tools. If your school offers electrical or electronics shop classes, take these as well.
