Raytheon Brings Training Focus to the Middle East
Date posted: 02/20/2009*
Raytheon’s footprint in the Middle East is expanding.
Building on its 45-year history in the region, Raytheon is strategically focused on growing its Global Training Solutions capabilities in the Middle East, in addition to other parts of the world including the United Kingdom and Australia.
Raytheon is pursuing opportunities with government and commercial customers interested in integrated training solutions and transformation. Last year, Raytheon launched a campaign to expand its training business building on high-profile program selections in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Those successes were founded on 75 years of training history that began when Raytheon, through its legacy companies, began training pilots for the U.S. military and postal service.
Raytheon has since become a world leader in developing and delivering full-spectrum training services and outsourcing for both government and commercial customers in 70 countries and 28 languages.
Working closely with customers such as General Motors, NASA, the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy, Raytheon develops partnerships to find the best solutions to address training challenges.
“Truly understanding our customers’ needs through collaboration from the beginning helps us design a tailored training solution,” said Steve Teel, Raytheon Technical Services Company LLC vice president of Global Training Solutions. “We provide A-to-Z support to deliver optimized solutions we develop with our customers.”
Raytheon has become a leader in addressing customers’ complex training transformation requirements.
“For the U.S. Army, we are integrating three legacy training domains under one program to streamline and improve training,” Teel said. “As a member of the Metrix Consortium, we will provide training design, development and management services to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence throughout its 30-year program to improve and modernize specialist training for its service personnel.”
Raytheon also recently won a program with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to provide training and support as well as transformation to its U.S. air traffic control workforce.
“We look forward to sharing our government and commercial best practices with customers in the Middle East and demonstrating our ability to deliver substantial training efficiencies and effectiveness,” Teel said.
