Resource Group is opening a new regional hub for Apprentice training at London’s Luton airport in collaboration with the British School of Aviation (BSA). The project involves an investment of £55k for a classroom and a practical training workshop. This move comes with the hope to address the growing problem of skilled labor shortage across the industry.
Ian Fitzpatrick, Managing Director of Resource Group, Training Solutions, said: “As the aviation industry has reopened, there has been an immediate and growing need to recruit and train new talent. This project is part of Resource Group’s response to the significant challenge facing our industry.
Executive Director of the British School of Aviation, Anoop Singh Bamrah FRAeS, said: “There is an obvious synergy with our established Part 147 Type Training courses, and this collaboration allows seamless progression for any employer wishing to progress their apprentices all the way to their chosen aircraft type. The BSA product portfolio is ever increasing with further types coming online and we stand ready to support the apprentice employers with the huge opportunities that this collaboration presents.”
The two-year apprenticeship will include the first year with Resource Group in Luton, undertaking practical and classroom-based training.
