PRIME Minister Samuel Hinds has assured graduands of the Art Williams & Harry Wendt Aeronautical School that growth of the aviation sector is a given.

He further assured them they are on the brink of an exciting career with opportunities to make a relatively good living here at home.

“There is scope for making a career in the sector, because we can see growth in the sector, particularly when you think of the large size of the country and with a population of less than a million.
“Our country is wide open and we don’t have the roads as yet. Aviation is important and will be quite important for Guyana for quite some time,” he pointed out.
Mr. Hinds was speaking at the school’s annual graduation and induction ceremony, held last Sunday at the Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services Ltd Hangar at Ogle International Airport, East Coast Demerara.
The programme included a presentation by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the School, Captain Malcolm Chan-a-Sue and Chairman of the Board, Mr. Beni Sankar.
Among those in attendance were the graduands, their friends and relatives, staffers of the school, senior aviation officials and other special invitees, among them members of the Diplomatic Corps.
Forty-six of the students received certificates for the first year of the aeronautical engineering beginners programme, twenty-three for the second year and nine graduated from the full three-year course.
ShivramArjun was recogniszed as the Best Graduating Student in the three-year group.
