The Value of Training
Ground service personnel require the proper guidance
to create a safe working environment, especially as the
industry's workforce returns to the ramp.
I
n an industry where safety is essential
above all else, the importance
of well-trained ground handling
personnel is crucial.
Proper training reduces the risk of
injuries and damage to the expensive
assets on the ramp. But challenges surrounding
training still exist.
In this month's Cover Story and
Ground Service Providers feature, the
labor challenges facing the industry
are highlighted. Skilled employees are
becoming difficult to find and expectations
from the workforce are shifting.
As the industry continues its recovery
from the COVID-19 pandemic,
training is taking on an increasingly
important role.
Of course, many organizations were
forced to reduce their staffing levels as
passenger flight volumes bottomed out.
As a result ground handling proficiency
has been impacted as experienced
members of the workforce left to pursue
other opportunities. Some may not
return to the ground handling industry.
Others may not have worked consistently
during the pandemic and require
recertification.
But as passenger traffic increases,
retaining skilled and experienced
ground handlers is even
more important.
The industry needs to attract new
talent to augment the current workforce.
Evaluating training methods can
assist with this need.

Online/remote solutions can make
training materials more accessible and
technology-enabled training methods,
such as virtual reality, can help ground
service providers enhance training by
streamlining operations and improving
capabilities. Innovative training
tools can be more engaging, which can
result in better retention of safety related
knowledge.
Training is a topic in need of ongoing
discussion, and Ground Support Worldwide
will continue to cover it from all
angles. Recently, at AviationPros.com
we launched a Source eBook devoted
to the topic. This collection of articles,
blogs, podcasts and other resources is
designed to keep you informed on this
vital topic and will be updated regularly
with new materials. Visit AviationPros.
com/magazine/49044 to check it out.
We can also learn from one another.
I welcome you to share your own experiences
with training. How has your
operation succeeded in training? In
what ways can the industry's training
methods improve?
