ANGELES CITY – Taking advantage of the developments at the Clark airport, one of the oldest schools here will begin to offer at least three aeronautics courses as the demand for them has increased in the local and foreign job markets.
This was disclosed yesterday by Ma. Felisa “Lei” Jocson-Herrera, vice president of the Jocson College Inc. (JCI) in Barangay Balibago, here, during the blessing-opening of the school’s aviation department. They will offer aircraft maintenance technology, aircraft electronics technology and aircraft structure maintenance courses at the JCI, established in 1950.
“Our school is strategically located in Angeles City. More importantly, we are near the Clark airport where many flights are happening daily,” said Jocson, referring to at least 55 international flights per week at the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) at the Clark Freeport.
Citing the recent Processed Positions in the Air Transport Sector report of the Philippine Overseas and Employment Agency (POEA), Jocson said the demand for air mechanics and technicians personnel is 79.27 percent of the total demand for aviation-related work in the country and abroad.
“We definitely offer with pride the in-demand courses,” said Jocson. She disclosed that JCI was the first to be given a license by Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) in Central Luzon.
Jocson added that JCI is only one of the three schools in the country authorized by the CAAP to give airframe structure maintenance course which lasts for three months. The two others are two-year courses.
In a statement, the JCI aviation department said they are the first to offer aviation courses in computer-based classrooms. They added that they have complete amenities and equipment.
“Our classrooms are all air-conditioned. Our tuition and other fees are affordable as well,” they said.
Jocson said they have “six competent” teachers at their aviation school. She added that “more importantly, our people have licenses to teach here and abroad.”
“They have taught in major aviation schools in the country and worked in top airline firms in the world,” she added. She disclosed that the courses will be offered beginning January next year.
No less than retired Lt. Gen Jose Reyes, former commander of the Philippine Air Force, led the ceremonial ribbon-cutting with Jocson.
