Bird Academy, in collaboration with Noida International Airport, Brisk Olive Trust, and Roseate Hotels & Resorts, the hospitality brand of Bird Group, India, has successfully completed a hospitality skill development programme for local youth in Jewar. The programme was designed to support employment-oriented skill development for young people from communities around Noida International Airport and help them access opportunities linked to the region’s growing aviation, hospitality and services ecosystem.
Conducted at ITI College, Jewar, the programme trained 33 students from different backgrounds who had completed schooling up to Class 12. It covered key areas of hospitality operations, including Front Office and Food & Beverage, along with soft skills, industry interactions and site visits to hospitality facilities. The training focused on practical capabilities, workplace readiness and confidence-building among the students. Following the completion of the programme, candidates have moved into employment opportunities across the region, including at Noida International Airport, Roseate Hotels & Resorts, and outlets along the Yamuna Expressway.
The hospitality programme builds on an earlier collaboration between Bird Academy and Brisk Olive Trust, the CSR partner for Noida International Airport. Last year an aviation skill development programme was conducted at ITI College, Jewar, for 28 students from underprivileged backgrounds. The programme focused on aviation ground operations, including ramp operations and passenger handling, along with soft skills, airport exposure visits and interactions with industry professionals. Candidates who completed the programme have since secured employment opportunities at Noida International Airport.
The Aviation Skill Development Centre at ITI College, Jewar, was inaugurated last year by the local MLA, Shri Dhirendra Singh, with support from Noida International Airport. The centre is intended to equip local communities with skills aligned to employment opportunities emerging from the region’s aviation and logistics ecosystem.
The initiative is part of Noida International Airport’s broader CSR focus on education, vocational training and employability. As the airport and the surrounding ecosystem develop, such programmes aim to help local communities participate in economic opportunities emerging in the region.
