Shannon-based Atlantic Aviation Group (AAG) is seeking to recruit 30 new trainee aircraft technicians to help the firm service its expanding client base.
One of Europe’s largest aircraft maintenance companies Atlantic Aviation Group (AAG) has announced that it will open two recruitment periods for its highly sought-after traineeship programme in 2024.
AAG has teamed up with the Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board (LCETB) to offer the two-year traineeship programme. On completion, a total of 30 trainees will receive a Category A Aircraft Maintenance Licence from the Irish Aviation Authority.
“The qualifications gained from this training are widely acknowledged worldwide, serving as a gateway for successful learners to travel and work in the aviation sector”
Applicants wishing to train as aircraft maintenance technicians can apply for the first phase of recruitment on June 10, while the second phase will begin in October.
Qualifications that will travel
“Having successfully filled three classes of trainees in the last 12 months here at AAG, we are delighted to now be recruiting for two further classes for the remainder of 2024 to address our skills need at AAG as well as the wider global shortage of qualified aircraft technicians,” said AAG chief aviation services officer Eva O’Keefe.
“Our long-term partnership with the Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board allows us to offer three CAT A Traineeship Programmes per year with an intake of 15 Trainees per class for those keen to embark on an exciting career in the aviation industry and to support jobs in the mid-west region.”
The partnership between AAG, which operates its own training academy, and LCETB aims to address the global shortage of qualified aircraft maintenance technicians. Qualifications awarded through the AAG programme are globally recognised, meaning qualified technicians have the freedom to work anywhere in the world.
“With a long legacy dating back to 1989, Shannon Campus has been committed to providing aircraft maintenance training, originally with Shannon Aerospace and now with Atlantic Aviation Group,” said James Power of the Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board.
“The qualifications gained from this training are widely acknowledged worldwide, serving as a gateway for successful learners to travel and work in the aviation sector.”
