Irish lessors manage €80bn in assets worldwide, more than 250 companies involved in the aerospace sector in Ireland, employ around 42,000 full-time workers. Annually, up to 100 aircraft are transitioned at Shannon, generating an estimated €30 million worth of business to service providers in this field and is increasing due to the volume of aircraft being transitioned because of Covid 19 Pandemic. Locally the Shannon Cluster is a rich pool of students. Nationally, there are 2600 highly skilled jobs directly related to the MRO sector (Maintenance Overhaul Repair) in Ireland. These experienced personnel are ideal candidates for this course as they possess the technical knowledge and experience required for these roles but require key knowledge, which this course provides. Each year there are are 50-70 applications for 35-40 places, showing strong demand.
Target Cohort: Identified during ongoing input over a number of years with industry. Growing personnel requirements of these companies have highlighted the skills gaps. This has led to the target cohort of aircraft maintenance personnel, aircraft technical services representatives and individuals with an aviation degree background being identified. Graduates from other third level courses are targets as this course provides them with an opportunity to enter the industry with additional knowledge.
