Magnetic MRO and OSM Aviation launch joint apprenticeship program:
27 February 2020: With an aim to secure the careers of new aircraft engineers, Magnetic MRO and OSM Aviation (OSM) have entered into a partnership. As per the MoU, an apprenticeship program will have selected apprentices from Norway and Sweden. They will start their 24 months practical studies program at the Magnetic MRO in Tallinn, Estonia, from early September 2020.
We are already facing with a global problem of shortage of skilled labour. In Scandinavia there has been a steady reduction and slow-down of maintenance activities. This has led to loss of interest among students who select the aircraft technical trade. Today this industry is suffering from low growth and low interest among young talents.
"We are delighted to enter to the partnership to alleviate the deficiency of the aircraft technicians globally. We consider this pilot program to be our small step for help the industry to train and develop young people to future aircraft technicians. We also value the call for such cooperation as the proof of our well-established reputation and positive outlook towards the highest standards of our services and professionals," said Ene Krinpus, HR Manager at Magnetic MRO.
"The reduction of the volume of aircraft maintenance technical production in Scandinavia has resulted in a reduced capacity among the major stakeholders in the market to provide enough training and follow-up of apprentices during their 24 months apprenticeship program which is a regulatory requirement in both Norway and Sweden. It is important to note that the level of detail and technical depth during the apprenticeship program remain limited, to such a level that the industry is unable to utilize the "Blank AML" candidates to the fullest capacity upon completion of the apprenticeship program. Therefore, OSM reached out to Magnetic MRO to explore the possibilities and potential for a meaningful collaboration that will address this issue, recognizing that MMRO is highly reputable and renowned organization for base maintenance in northern Europe, accomplishing maintenance tasks and projects for all major operators in Europe and beyond, " said Thom-Arne Norheim, Technical Director of OSM Aviation.
