COTABATO
City Mayor Atty. Frances Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi has committed her support to the
Aviation Technical School of Cotabato
(ATSC), the first and only aviation school in Cotabato City.
In
her mission to give Cotabateños, especially the young ones, a chance to be part
of a more modernized and competitive society, Mayor Guiani-Sayadi is thrilled
to learn about the operations of the ATSC and how it can produce world class
graduates in the future.
The
ATSC is the first and currently the only educational institution in the city
that provides technical courses like Associate in Aircraft Maintenance
Technology and Associate in Aviation Electronics Technology.
It
has already produced a number of graduates since it started its operation in
2013. Some are already connected with the airline industries and airports all around the
country.
In
2017, the school was accredited by the
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and is planning to
offer more courses this year, including Cabin Crew Training.
In
a meeting among the city mayor, ATSC president
Michael Mustapha, and a Malaysian investor who is one of the school's
directors, Mayor Guiani-Sayadi committed
to provide scholarship to future deserving students of the ATSC and to become
partners in promoting aviation industry, not only in Cotabato
City, but in its neighboring towns as well.
With
the anticipated construction of a Technical Training School to be donated by a
group of Chinese investors in Cotabato City, the local government and the ATSC
will also be forging a partnership in managing the institution.
"I
am excited for the future of the school. It is both an honor and an opportunity
for Cotabato City to have the ATSC. And the city government is ready to extend
its helping arms, especially to institutions that will help us shape the future
of our next generation," Mayor Guiani-Sayadi said.
With
the growing demand in aviation professionals all around the world, it is highly
possible that more and more Cotabateños and other young ones will be interested
in taking aviation courses.
According
to www.aviationcv.com, aircraft
mechanics are the third highest paid in the world in the field of aviation,
coming behind pilots and air traffic controllers.
Being
an aviation professional himself, ATSC president Michael Mustapha said he has
already seen and experienced the vast opportunities that await future aviation
professionals and Cotabateños have a high potential of making it in the global
arena.
"It
has been a grueling journey for me as I started to build up a name for the
school. But I know that all the hardships will be worth it because I believe in
the potentials of our young Cotabateños," Mustapha said.
The
school offers aviation courses at a much cheaper cost as compared to other
aviation schools in the country.
Consul
officers from Malaysia were also present during the meeting and were impressed
as the lady chief executive shared about the current situation of Cotabato City
where investments are at high level and
the peace and order situation is remarkably improved. With this, they also
expressed their willingness to solicit from a Malaysian education investment
entity support to the ATSC.
This
confidence that foreign investors have is proof of Cotabato City's dynamic
growth and the security that its local government provides for its people.
