Aviation professionals call for stronger training pathways for aspiring Ghanaian youth
Aviation professionals are calling for better training and career guidance for Ghanaian youth. They believe limited information and a lack of structured training make it hard for young people to enter the sector. Many youth want to become pilots or cabin crew members. Ivy Hammond, founder of Global Aviation Consult, created the Take Off Experience to address these issues. This initiative connects interested young people with practical guidance on how to join the industry.
Aviation professionals have called for stronger training opportunities and career guidance to prepare more young Ghanaians for employment in the aviation industry. They say while many young people aspire to become pilots, cabin crew members and other aviation professionals, limited access to information and structured training continues to make it difficult for some to navigate their way into the sector. The concerns were raised at the Take Off Experience, an initiative established by the founder of Global Aviation Consult, Ivy Hammond, to connect young people’s interest in aviation with practical guidance on entering the industry. Ms Hammond said she created the platform after observing that many aspiring professionals had ambitions but lacked the information and direction needed to pursue them.
