NEWS SUMMARY
The US government is encouraging gamers to apply for jobs as air traffic controllers to help solve a staff shortage. A new campaign by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) highlights that gaming skills, such as quick decision-making, are useful for the role.
Air traffic controllers are responsible for coordinating air traffic at airports, and in the US, the job can pay up to $155,000 after three years. However, there are currently thousands of vacancies across the US, and more workers are expected to leave soon. The initiative aims to attract younger candidates while maintaining high safety standards.
