Manila: The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) announced on Thursday that it is exploring a training collaboration opportunity with Bulacan State University (BulSU). The move seeks to enhance aviation education and technical capacity building through exploratory discussions.
According to Philippines News Agency, CAAP Director General Raul del Rosario emphasized the importance of investing in human resources, stating, "Our greatest investment will always be our people. This is why we remain committed to advancing the Next Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP) Program." He added that through this initiative, CAAP aims to ensure that the Philippines continues to build a steady pipeline of skilled, competent, and globally competitive aviation professionals.
BulSU's strategic location near aviation hubs positions the university as a strong partner in advancing aviation training and workforce development, as noted in a CAAP news release. The Authority reported that representatives of both parties met on June 24 and explored opportunities for students to participate in specialized training programs, particularly technical courses such as the Basic Airfield Lighting and Power Technician Course.
CAAP highlighted the necessity of investing in human capital as a means to build a resilient, future-ready, and globally competitive aviation industry.
