INADET, Safran Open Industrial School to Boost Aerospace Talent

The Institute for the Support of Technological Development (INADET) and Safran Aerosystems have launched a collaboration to bolster human capital development in Chihuahua’s aerospace sector. This partnership includes the inauguration of the Industrial School, a specialized facility designed to train operators in the manufacturing of evacuation slides, a key component in aerospace safety.

“Each time a new project comes up, we say yes because we know we have an ecosystem that supports us: the government, the industry, and academia,” says Ulises Fernández, Director, Ministry of Innovation and Economic Development (SIDE). 

The Industrial School will serve as a training ground where workers will acquire the skills needed to meet the high safety and quality standards required in the aerospace industry. "Such initiatives solidify Chihuahua’s position as a leader in the aerospace industry," says Jorge Acosta, General Manager, Safran.

The training was conducted in collaboration with the High Technology Training Center (CENALTEC), which is part of the initiative to provide specialized instruction for high-demand roles in aerospace manufacturing.

Since its inception, INADET has trained over 270,000 individuals. Of this total, 78% have been trained in the last three years, underscoring the growing demand for specialized talent to meet the needs of the aerospace sector.
