We were delighted to welcome the first Engineering Apprentices onto our brand new in-house Jet2.com Engineering Apprenticeship scheme recently.
Harry Edler, Harry Whyte, Matthew Thornton and James Hair have commenced the four-year Apprenticeship after a selection process that included online tests, an assessment day, interviews and practical assessments. The four were selected from 500 initial applications, so we are delighted to welcome them to our team.
To mark the start of their Apprenticeship, they visited our Maintenance Hangar at Manchester Airport with their parents to have a look around and meet the Engineering Team.
This purpose-built facility covers 6,000 square metres of floor space, allowing our Engineering and Maintenance Teams to work on up to three aircraft at the same time. The Hangar is where the Apprenticeship will be delivered under the expert guidance of our recently appointed Apprentice Trainers, Neil Tomlinson and Mark Evans, as well as the rest of our Engineering Team.
When successfully completed, the Engineering Apprentices will have gained a Level 2 & Level 3 Diploma in Aerospace and Aviation and a Level 3 Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance (Category A).
We welcome Harry, Harry, Matthew and James and congratulate them on joining our Engineering Apprenticeship programme, which will see them become fully qualified A Licensed Mechanics.
