Presenters reconfirmed their commitment and availability of funding to travel and participate
Respective organizations have financially committed to support the ICAO NGAP Implementation Working Group as a first step to develop the material and then, as a second step, to fund the presentation of the CBT workshops in all the ICAO Regions

7. Group work
Phase one of the work of the Implementation Working Group is completed

Doc ATCO - finalised
Doc ATSEP CBT - finalised
Phase two is the delivery of the workshops, to be completed in 1st quarter 2018
Funds made available to Implementation Working Group members to present CBT workshops in all regions.
Should the Implementation Working Group be disbanded before the completion of the workshops, the funds already secured and committed by Organizations to host the workshops will be lost.

8. Involve TRAINAIR PLUS in initiatives
Future of the Group
Proposals:
ICAO consider the possibility to combine all NGAP activities in the multidisciplinary programme and include other aviation disciplines
Involve TRAINAIR PLUS in initiatives
Above proposals are very new, and should be further studied;
ICAO consider to rename and re-task the implementation working group to the “NGAP Implementation, Development and Technical support group”
4th bullet - this will be considered at the next NGAP meeting once the workshops have been completed. A new group has been started Strategies and Planning Group and I encourage members of the Implementation work group to provide their expertise to this group.

9. As part of this programme activities:
Include, in addition to current course development and ATCO /ATSEP implementation expertise, pilot and other aviation professions, such as AIS, MET, AC maintenance, OPS, AIR, and TRAINAIR PLUS, etc.
Develop other related NGAP initiatives and to provide technical expertise to the NGAP:
Regional Offices invite, as far as possible, members of the host State educational system for a briefing on NGAP initiatives by the workshop presenters;
NGAP tools that contain information on all the aviation opportunities and disciplines at the high school student level
Encourage States to implement CBT in training of military ATCOs providing a civilian service where applicable

10. NGAP package material (tools) mentioned above, could be disseminated to ICAO DGCA meetings with the specific request that the aviation DGCA’s distribute this to their education counterparts.
ICAO planning and implementation regional group (PIRG) and Regional Aviation Safety Groups could be sensitized and actively be encouraged to share NGAP related material and updates with their education colleagues in States.
Use our course development and technical skills to develop an ICAO online tool related to NGAP and aviation opportunities available to high school students.
On line course could be made available on the ICAO on line training platform aimed at high school guidance counsellors in the education system mostly in developing States.

11. Counsellors could earn a certificate from ICAO/ NGAP to state that they have received ICAO guidance related to aviation opportunities for high school students;
Access to these high school guidance counsellors can be obtained through the ICAO DGCA mechanism;
Sponsorship could be obtained to print basic packages that could be disseminated through the Regional Offices.
