QANTAS PICKS AVIATION AUSTRALIA TO PROVIDE WORLD-CLASS TRAINING
Aviation Australia is delighted to announce our partnership with Qantas launching the Qantas Group Engineering Academy.
Our partnership with Qantas as their training partner for the Academy recognises the important role that we play as the nation’s premier aircraft maintenance engineering training provider.
The Qantas Engineering Academy will create a pipeline of talent to meet strong growth in the aviation industry, contribute to building a skilled workforce for Queensland and boost the state’s economy.
The academy will train engineers for the Qantas Group but also the broader aviation industry, including general aviation and Defence contractors, with a focus on recruiting more women in engineering.
