21st Century Partnership Chief Operations Officer Dan Rhoades spoke with 13WMAZ about Robins Air Force Base's new E-11A plane and how local universities are developing the future workforce needed to support growth in Middle Georgia.
"'One of the reasons that Robins was picked for some of the missions that are coming here is specifically because of what the community has done to stand up technology capability,' Rhoades says.
To navigate and even create this future technology, Rhoades says students are learning software engineering, and other cyber-focused majors.
'MGA is training these students, Mercer is training software engineers. We're developing that workforce we're going to need in the future right here in middle Georgia, that we're going to need for jobs like that,' Rhoades adds."
