ITEC Aviation has roots that run deep reaching people beyond roads. Currently, ITEC Aviation includes the I-FLY and UAV programs.
I-FLY: A 3 year A&P apprenticeship program where trainees acquire their Aircraft Maintenance Technician license (A&P). Each member of the team will be able to build aircraft, learn general maintenance, overhaul and fix engines, and run a plane mechanic shop.
UAV System: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) create new opportunities to complement traditional missions aviation. The ITEC team is currently developing UAVs capable of carrying potentially life-saving payloads to remote areas, completely autonomously, and returning to a pinpoint location even in conditions too dangerous to fly traditional aircraft.
ITEC Engineering focuses on research and development for various projects and training with the I-FIX program.
You may know about the ITEC portable dental chair or the innovative UAV program. These tools are the handiwork of our engineering research and development team. There’s always a new project being worked on or an existing product being tweaked and improved by this talented team of engineering experts.
I-FIX: The engineering team also facilitates I-FIX training, teaching indigenous Christ-followers to maintain and repair various small engine tools. Chainsaws, boat motors, generator, and motorcycles are critical tools in frontier areas across the globe. Maintaining and repairing these tools is the focus of our I-FIX training facilitated by our engineering team.
ITEC Health focuses on developing curriculum on basic optometry, dentistry, and medicine to be used in frontier areas.
The goal is to train and equip indigenous Christ-followers to meet basic needs in their communities that open doors to share the Gospel.
I-MED: Teaches non-health care workers to learn to offer safe and effective basic health care services when those services are not otherwise available.
I-SEE: Teaches skills required to identify and treat common eyesight problems as a small self-sustaining ministry.
I-DENT: Teaches critical dental skills needed in places where people do not have access to dental care.
ITEC Media produces videos and other digital resources that support the vision of ITEC and help spread the word about what God is doing through I-TEC.
The media team also facilitates I-FILM training which aims to equip indigenous Christ-followers to tell stories that glorify the name of Christ through film.
I-FILM: This unique training program provides students with a basic understanding of film composition, editing, and visual storytelling. Students purchase I-FILM kits consisting up an iPad mini, tripod, and other gear capable of shooting, editing, and distributing high-quality projects.
