Cambrian College in Sudbury has partnered with Discovery Aviation Academy (DAA) on a memorandum of understanding that will allow business students to simultaneously take flight training.
The MOU's objectives are to offer students enrolled in Cambrian College's business fundamentals certificate program an opportunity to obtain commercial flight training; to enhance the employability of students interested in pursuing a career in aviation; and to fill an ongoing pilot shortage in the aviation industry.
“DAA will leverage Discovery Air's extensive network to give students a unique exposure to commercial aviation that no other school can offer,” Jason Fogg, DAA program manager, said in a news release. “It is our goal to use this advantage and work with Cambrian College to offer a flight training program in which students will travel from all across Canada to attend.”
Cambrian's program is set up with a flexible schedule so that students can get their education and take flight training full time. DAA will endeavour to offer internship and employment opportunities to select, high-achieving students.
The program will begin in the fall of 2012.
