STS Aviation Services (STS) has announced the launch of its newly formed Apprenticeship Scheme for engineers in the United Kingdom. The newly launched scheme by STS will last for 4 years and will culminate in the Engineers qualifying for their engineer licenses. STS Aviation Services is an aircraft Maintenance, Repairs and Overhaul (MRO) provider to the global aviation industry. STS Aviation Services is a division of STS Aviation Group.
Imogen Day, VP of Human Resources, STS Aviation Services says, “When looking for a college to support our flagship scheme, there was no greater place that Solihull College who are well versed in aviation apprenticeships schemes. The scheme is four years in duration, with a mix of college attendance and working within the many areas of STS to include maintenance, design, logistics, planning, safety & compliance. From the many applicants we’ve seen, we have selected 5 trainees to start this year – each to be mentored and coached along the way by our skilled Engineers who are equally enthused by this scheme and wanting to help.”
According to the newly launched Apprenticeship Scheme for engineers, the trainees will get an opportunity to Work alongside the highly-skilled and experienced engineers within STS Aviation Services. The students will also get a chance to learn the best engineering practices for both the legacy and the next-generation aircraft.
“I cannot tell you how delighted I am that STS is now introducing this scheme, one of very few that exist in UK aviation,” states Mick Adams, CEO, STS Aviation Services United Kingdom. Our company is determined to build for the long term, and bringing these trainees into such an exciting industry presents wonderful opportunities for them to grow their careers and advance. In today’s aviation market, there is a severe lack of aerospace engineers, and we have to do what needs to be done to address this. I had the pleasure of meeting all of the apprentices yesterday, and I took the opportunity to provide some colour as to the future opportunities. When doing so, I could sense the excitement and passion they have to learn. STS Aviation Services will encourage this further by exposing them to all facets of MRO in both the commercial and military sectors,” he further added.
