It’s encouraging how #aviation is becoming a springboard for #education and opportunity across #Africa. Hands-on learning initiatives, like this, are part of a broader effort to prepare the next generation of aviation talent. Organisations like Boeing are playing a key role—supporting #STEM programs, partnering with universities, and equipping youth with the skills needed for aviation careers. From Digital Divide Data (DDD) training in #Kenya to collaborations with universities in #Ethiopia and #Egypt, these initiatives are already making a real impact across the continent. Africa’s talent is ready, and the future of flight is being shaped right here!
