Ethiopian Airlines and Airbus have partnered to host workshops for close to 100 students from schools in Addis Ababa this week. The workshops will be conducted by The Little Engineer (TLE), an organisation dedicated to instilling an appreciation of science and technology among today’s youth.
These workshops are taking place at Ethiopian Airlines’ Aviation Academy in the framework of celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Elysée Treaty by the Embassies of French Republic and Federal Republic of Germany in Addis Ababa.
“As the fastest growing African airline, Ethiopian Airlines attaches great importance to the nurturing of young talents. In line with our Vision 2025, we aim to train and avail enough skilled aviation professionals to satisfy not just our growing needs but to also cater for the demand throughout Africa. We are proud to join efforts with Airbus in bringing “The Little Engineer” program to Ethiopia so as to acquaint and inspire young Ethiopian students to join our technology driven industry,” said Tewolde Gebremariam, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines. “
“Africa plays an important role in the future of aviation with an estimated demand of 957 new aircraft for the coming 20 years. Ethiopia’s estimated passenger growth for the same period stands at 8.1 per cent,” said Alan Pardoe, Head of Marketing Communications for Airbus. “With its forward-thinking approach, Ethiopian Airlines has a lot to offer to the future of travel and to help in shaping it. We are very excited that Addis Ababa is one of our first destinations to conduct the TLE workshops.”
Airbus has announced earlier this month a regional partnership with TLE as a result of on-going efforts to inspire and instill a passion for science and technology at an early age. It aims through this partnership to engage with more than 500 students in Africa and the Middle East in 2013.
