A new agreement was signed in Montreal by EUROCONTROL Director General Raúl Medina and ICAO Secretary General Juan Carlos Salazar, building on EUROCONTROL’s role as a Corporate Partner in the ICAO TRAINAIR Plus programme.
Globally, the aviation sector is facing a challenge to recruit and retain professionals. The new training course will focus on mentoring, which is one of the most efficient tools for supporting anyone starting an aviation career, especially for those people from under-represented groups. As mentoring helps people to grow in their chosen careers, it will make aviation more attractive both for junior and middle-level professionals.
The training programme is part of the ICAO Next Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP) programme, which aims to ensure the availability of sufficient human resources to assure the sustainable development of the global flight network.
