Shannon based Atlantic Aviation Group (AAG) has confirmed it’s accepting submissions for their 2018 Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Apprenticeship programme.
The 4-year paid apprenticeship includes practical on-the-job training at the company hangar as well as off-site theory-based learning in Shannon and at Dublin Institute of Technology.
Speaking about the company history of training apprentices, Atlantic Aviation Group CEO Shane O’Neill said: “We are delighted to continue our proud legacy of training world class Aircraft Maintenance Engineers through our prestigious apprenticeship. In the last 5 years alone, we have produced two Worldskills champions and five national skills champions for Aircraft Maintenance. We look forward to welcoming the next generation as the programme opens again for 2018.”
HR manager Ciara Leahy said: “Our 4 year programme trains apprentices to the very highest of standards. As a large number of our on-the-job trainers have come through our apprentice programme previously, they fully appreciate and understand what training each apprentice needs to succeed. “
