Spotlight on aviation after UCM link up

Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:00

Efforts are underway to encourage more people on the Island to consider a career in aviation.

European Aviation Maintenance has teamed up with the University College Isle of Man to add aviation modules into the current Engineering and Manufacturing Apprenticeship Course.

The company, which is based at Ronaldsway Airport, is also introducing a two year course for 12 students in September which would result in a City and Guilds diploma.

Open days are being held this month so that people can find out more - you can find more details about those on our website.

EAM managing director Chris Astley says it's time to shine a spotlight on the sector for men and women:
