The activity took place at the Asca facilities, during the commemoration of civil aviation week and had more than one hundred jobs available. Applications will be evaluated by participating companies, including airports, airlines, financial entities and service providers.
By participating in the opening of the event, the general director of Idac, Héctor Porcella, stated that the Jobs Fair and the Open House are a reflection of the notable growth registered by the Dominican aeronautical industry under the incentives and support that president Luis Abinader has offered to tourism and civil aviation.
He explained that the new Dominican-registered airlines, together with the international operators that have established themselves in the country in the last three years, have generated a significant induced demand for technicians, support staff and service employees, who in many cases need the adequate level of specialized training.
Regarding the training, the director of Asca, Clara Fernández, also spoke highlighting the importance of the “Open House” or opening of the academy facilities to present to interested young people all the opportunities offered by the Idac study center to study a degree in aeronautical administration or other specialized areas.
