Magnetic MRO has developed a new workforce training programme called the Magnetic Academy that aims to alleviate labour shortages in the aircraft maintenance sector.
The programme aims to train between 60 and 100 new aircraft engineers in the coming years. This programme is unique in that it offers an opportunity to those with no previous aviation education or experience, the company said. It will also provide additional training opportunities for professionals already in the company.
The programme combines Magnetic MRO’s practical experience with the academic knowledge of the Riga Transport and Telecommunications Institute (TSI Riga). “Our aim is to fill a critical gap in the skilled workforce that is essential for Magnetic MRO’s development and growth,” says Risto Mäeots, CEO at Magnetic Group.
Ene Krinpus, HR manager at Magnetic Group, emphasised the importance of the programme. “Magnetic Academy provides an opportunity for those who want to pursue a career in aviation but lack the necessary background or education. We believe it will open the door to aviation for many talented people.”
Magnetic MRO is part of Magnetic Group, a global aviation company, offering a wide range of services for the aircraft and engines, asset trading and technical training. Currently, the company employs around 450 people in Tallinn and will need around 100 new aircraft mechanics and engineers in the coming years.
