ICAO and Angola launch landmark initiative to develop the Next Generation of aviation professionals in Angola

ICAO - Angola

The ICAO and Angola have launched a Next Generation of Aviation Professionals strategy to develop a sustainable aviation workforce, enhancing training and attracting diverse talent.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Government of Angola have agreed to cooperate on developing a national Next Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP) strategy.

This ambitious new agreement was signed by Bernarda Henrique, President of the Board of Directors of the National Air Navigation Company (ENNA-EP), on behalf of the Minister of Transport, Ricardo Daniel Sandão Quérois Viegas de Abreu, and ICAO Secretary General, Juan Carlos Salazar. It represents a significant step toward establishing a sustainable and robust aviation workforce to support the country’s growing air transport system.

The NGAP strategy will be designed to address the workforce needs of Angola’s aviation industry over the next 15 years through capacity-building. It targets enhanced training capabilities and facilities, and the development of comprehensive plans to attract, educate, train, and retain the next generation of aviation professionals.
This, in turn, is key to ensuring the availability of a skilled workforce, capable of contributing effectively to progress towards zero fatality and zero emissions global strategic aspirational goals for air transport, as determined by the Member States of ICAO. This initiative aims to create diverse and rewarding career opportunities in aviation for young Angolans across the country, especially women and girls. It represents a significant step forward for Angola, reflecting the government’s commitment to global aviation standards and plans and to the long-term development of its aviation sector.
