Flybe employees in the Isle of Man could soon be part of a groundbreaking training initiative which was announced in the UK this week.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has given permission for some companies to begin issuing their own qualifications, and the airline is one of the first on the list.
The project means Flybe’s Island staff could start studying for GCSEs, A-levels or even degrees.
Niall Duffy of Flybe says the new qualifications are just as good as those earned at schools or colleges:
Farmers in race against time after freight backlog in Heysham
Concern for crops and animals after delays to feed and fertiliser deliveries
Further changes to sailing schedule due to tidal restrictions
Manxman crossings affected over next three days
Census 'still one of the most valuable statistical tools' for government
Cabinet Office minister says technical can't count the population as well as the survey
'Immigration is needed' for economic growth on Island
MLC says a shortage of workers is creating challenges for Manx businesses
