Manchester airport has launched what it claims is a one-of-a-kind apprenticeship scheme to encourage more young people to pursue careers in the aviation industry.

Manchester airport says new rail links are vital to its future

The two-year scheme will allow students to experience all elements of airport operations, offering a permanent job upon the course’s completion.

"There really are few working environments that offer the excitement and variation an airport does, and as one of the UK’s largest airports, Manchester is a fantastic place to be immersed in the world of aviation operations,” said managing director Chris Woodroofe.

Developed as part of the airport’s commitment to deliver skills training across the North West, the apprenticeship will be equivalent to a foundation year or the first year of an undergraduate degree.
