Arajet and ITSC join forces to train future aviation professionals

Santo Domingo.- Arajet, the Dominican Republic’s flag carrier, and the Higher Technical Community Institute (ITSC) have signed an inter-institutional agreement to strengthen technical education and prepare young Dominicans for the country’s growing aeronautical industry.

The partnership will promote training programs, internships, professional placements, knowledge exchange, and research and innovation initiatives. It will also support the development and updating of academic programs related to aviation, particularly aircraft maintenance.

Arajet founder and CEO Víctor Pacheco Méndez said the initiative reflects the airline’s commitment to preparing a new generation of Dominican professionals who can contribute to the expansion of the national aviation sector.

“The future of Dominican aviation is also built in the classroom,” Pacheco Méndez said, emphasizing the importance of providing young people with training and opportunities for specialized careers in the industry.

The agreement also includes technical assistance for adapting facilities, laboratories and equipment, as well as scholarships and academic exchanges for faculty and researchers. Both institutions will organize career guidance and recruitment activities and create mechanisms to facilitate employment opportunities for students and graduates.

The partnership reinforces Arajet’s commitment to supporting the development of Dominican aviation beyond air connectivity by investing in education, knowledge transfer and local talent. It is also expected to help more young Dominicans access specialized training and career opportunities in the aeronautical sector.
