Dana Air has announced the plan to absorb and train over 50 corps members and interns in consonance with its Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR, policy.
A media statement by Dana said the training will be across various areas which include: Human Resources, IT, Ticketing, Customer Service, Quality Assurance, Commercial, and Marketing among others.
According to the media statement, Mr. Ememobong Ettete, the Chief Operating Officer, COO, was quoted to have said, “Dana Air’s CSR initiative is broad-based and inclusive”.
Ettete enunciated further, “Since inception, we have trained a lot of corps members and interns who ended up becoming Cabin crew, Ticketing officers, customer service agents, HR Officers, and even Accountants”, he said.
Given the rationale for such human capital development, Ettete was quoted to have said that Dana Airline’s policy from inception is to “create a career path for these young Nigerians and give them a clear direction as most of them are actually very passionate about aviation but have not got the opportunity to explore or venture, but we have been creating that window for them and the impact has been huge.”
He explained why the looming recession was not allowed to deter the organization’s capacity-building philosophy thus, ”Yes it is happening at a peculiar time but CSR is a commitment and everything doesn’t have to be rosy for you to be driven to implement it”
Ettete noted that the airline currently still “also have those who are currently doing their OJT (On the job training) with us and they are doing incredibly well also, ” he added.
Dana Air is one of Nigeria’s leading airlines with a mixed fleet of Boeing aircraft and daily flights from Lagos to Abuja, Port Harcourt, Owerri, and Enugu.
