Dear Editor,

Most recently I read with interest the curriculum/subjects contained in the 2015 study financing list of subjects offered by this department. Approximately 18 months previously WINAIR was visited by this department at the behest of Michael Ferrier to ascertain what could be offered to the SXM youth to prepare themselves for meaningful careers in Aviation.

After several discussions with the study finance group, we established the need in SXM for Air Craft Maintenance Personnel and Commercial Pilots, both disciplines are now available to our youth. Though it will take several years to develop and train our prospective students, WINAIR applauds the personnel at Study Finance and Mr. Ferrier for connecting the dots (Seeing the possibility) in affording the youth a chance to fulfil jobs in the aviation realm, where there is a need in SXM.

WINAIR remains committed to working with the Department of Education to ensure that as many WINAIR positions as possible are ultimately filled by qualified local personnel.
