Magnetic MRO, Estonia’s largest aircraft maintenance company with a global reputation, is tackling labour shortages in the aircraft maintenance sector head-on with the launch of its groundbreaking workforce training program – the Magnetic Academy. This initiative aims to address the shortage of skilled personnel by training between 60 and 100 new aircraft engineers in the coming years. The program not only addresses the immediate labour shortage but also contributes to the long-term development of the aviation sector.
The Magnetic Academy sets itself apart by offering opportunities to individuals with no prior aviation education or experience. The program, which aligns practical experience with academic knowledge from the Riga Transport and Telecommunications Institute (TSI Riga), seeks to bridge the critical gap in skilled personnel necessary for Magnetic MRO’s continued development and growth.
Risto Mäeots, CEO at Magnetic Group said, “Our aim is to fill a critical gap in the skilled workforce that is essential for Magnetic MRO’s development and growth. Aviation is not just about passenger transport; it also includes vital services such as the transport of goods, medicines and food. The skills and commitment of our team are at the heart of this ecosystem.”
As part of Magnetic Group, a global aviation company offering services for aircraft and engines, asset trading, and technical training, Magnetic MRO plays a crucial role in the industry. With approximately 450 employees in Tallinn, the company anticipates the need for around 100 new aircraft mechanics and engineers in the coming years.
Ene Krinpus, HR manager, Magnetic Group said, “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.”
The collaboration with TSI Riga reflects the Magnetic Academy’s holistic approach, combining practical experience with academic knowledge. This comprehensive training program not only provides new job opportunities but also significantly contributes to the overall development of the aviation sector.
