We had the pleasure of hosting a special site visi We had the pleasure of hosting a special site visit at our Cooroy facility, attended by Minister Lance McCallum (Minister for Employment and Small Business and Minister for Training and Skills Development), Peter McKay (Director General of DESBT), and Amanda Jones (Regional Director, North Coast Region). John McDermott (President) and Renier Bekker (CEO) showcased the wide range of job opportunities within the aviation sector and provided an insightful overview of McDermott Aviation's history and current operations. 
The visit was a resounding success, with overwhelming support from our guests to assist in the development of our new training programs. We appreciate the recognition of the level of detail and coordination required to safely conduct our aviation operations.
