Virgin seeks ‘next generation’ of aircraft engineers

Training
28 April 2022

Virgin Atlantic is on the hunt to recruit 10 apprentice and four graduate engineers for its 2022 training cohort.

Virgin Atlantic said it welcomed the CAA's decision

The programmes, which are running for the first time in three years, will see the apprentice and graduate engineers undertake two-year courses.

Delivered in two phases, the apprenticeship programme will cover academic and hand-skills training to City & Guilds Level III followed by time spent at an aviation and aerospace training facility.

For the final 14 months, apprentices will work alongside engineers across the airline’s Heathrow line and hangar maintenance facilities.

Training culminates with an Engineering Technician Apprenticeship certificate and the opportunity to apply for a permanent role.
