(Business in Cameroon) - There is an important lack of human resources in the sector of aviation in Cameroon and most of African countries, according to the Aviation Fellowship for Youth in Africa (Afya), an association which aims to popularize aviation professions with youth.
To illustrate their claim about this lack, Afya, which quoted a research of the American plane manufacturer Boeing conducted in 2016, said that Africa will need 22,000 pilots by 2035.
This statistic thus reveals the goldmine of opportunities that the aviation sector represents for a country like Cameroon, which is plagued with youth unemployment, under-employment and poverty; poverty being according to experts the main hindrance in the access to the aviation training courses deemed expensive.
