Case Study

India Aerospace and Aviation provision

Cardiff and Vale College (CAVC) won a contract under the UK Government Skills for Jobs Programme to deliver an online Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme to the Indian Aerospace and Aviation Sector Skill Council (AASSC).

The case study work is part of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) partnership with the Indian Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) and funded under the Skills for Jobs Programme (S4J).

The training was delivered in mid-March 2021 and focussed on skills for Airline Customer Executive and Cabin Crew together with platform skills training for the participants via CAVC’s International Centre for Aerospace Training (ICAT). This package of training was delivered through a ‘Train the Trainer’ lens such that participants can subsequently use the skills and knowledge assimilated to deliver enhanced training to aviation industry trainees.

The training consisted of two trainers from CAVC and one trainer from one of its partners delivering the sessions over four days to a group of 30 Indian participants working in the Indian aviation sector. The training was delivered over the Microsoft Teams platform and sessions were designed in such a way to mitigate some of the limitations associated with online teaching. This included balancing the degree of interaction with participants possible in digital environments, with time pressures.

CAVC is very proud of its role in developing the skills ecosystem in India by helping facilitate an upgrade of the Indian aviation education provision and skilling infrastructure whilst contributing to the strategic enhancement of skill levels in the wider Indian labour market.
