  1. I’m writing to express my strong interest to join Apprenticeship Program with Niu Sky Pacific Limited as advertised. I’m particularly drawn to Niu Sky Pacific due to it’s reputation for excellence in air traffic management services, it’s commitment to high safety standards and also after witnessing the systems in place for air traffic control first hand at my site visitation last month Thursday 12/10/2023. My educational background in electrical engineering in Electronics has equipped me with a solid foundation in understanding basic to complex systems and their maintenance. In regards, I’m excited about the opportunity to be a part of your team and contribute to seamless operation of Air Traffic Control.
