At the beginning of January 2019 Rakesh Sanjel, the skillman.eu representative for Nepal, was invited at the Skillman Secretariat in Italy for a two-day meeting.

Rakesh Sanjel is the Managing Director of The Northern Light Academy of Aviation and Technology (NAAT), a leading aviation academy located in Kathmandu, Nepal, whom prime mission is to advance knowledge and provide standard training to the students in aviation.

NAAT is currently planning to release a workshop for ‘Composite repair technician‘. The training program is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of technician improving and updating their knowledge and skills in the field of composite repair.

The course has been developed by implementing the skillman curricula and standards for VET developed taking into account the common principles for quality assurance.

During the meeting with Rakesh Sanjel the discussion focused on the content to be included in the Units of Learning, the requirements and procedures to set up the workshop and the promotion of vocational training and employment of Nepalese students.

As a National coordinator of Skillman, Rakesh Sanjel and NAAT will continue to work to build up the Skillman network in Nepal, while organizing the next activities planned for March.

We wish Rakesh every success and we are sure that he will achieve the aims set out during the meeting at the Skillman Secretariat!
