The International Business Aviation Council is offering two scholarship opportunities to members of the Women in Corporate Aviation (WCA) organization to attend the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operators (ISBAO) and International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) workshops. Submissions for applications are being accepted through WCA until March 25, 2022.
The IBAC scholarships include one for IS-BAH Fundamentals and Auditing workshops and one for IS-BAO Fundamentals and Auditing workshops. The Fundamentals course covers implementation with a practical approach to managing an SMS based on ICAO principles and includes essential training in SMS performance validation.
IBAC auditor accreditation manager and WCA advocate Yvonne Marinus is leading the scholarship process. “I am excited to work with WCA to select and recognize the deserving recipients of these workshop scholarships. Additional knowledge and insight of Safety Management Systems and the independent auditing process can be valuable to people in our industry and is an excellent opportunity to enhance their career,” she said.
"All of us at IBAC are proud to support Women in Corporate Aviation and look forward to hosting the scholarship recipients,” commented IBAC director general Kurt Edwards. “It is crucial to the future of our workforce that we encourage and support the talented women working in this industry today and we thank the volunteers at WCA for all they do to help make that happen.”
