Rising demand creates need for skilled workers at Lufthansa Technik

Lufthansa Technik records rising number of apprentices

Rise in demand for MRO services results in further growth in demand
for skilled workers
Over 300 young people start their careers at German sites

The rising global demand for air travel and the resulting increased
need for aircraft maintenance, overhaul and repair services also
leads to a growing need for personnel at Lufthansa Technik. For many
decades, one cornerstone in the recruitment of new colleagues has
been the internal training of new employees. This year, 321 young
people are starting their training at the company's German locations.
Specifically, the company is looking for skilled workers for all
areas: Mechanics, electronics technicians for devices and systems,
engineers, junior staff for the logistics department and for the
commercial sector. In order to secure the company's future
development, the training of highly qualified employees is a central
measure, because Lufthansa Technik competes with numerous other
companies preparing for the changes brought by the upcoming
generation shift and digitalization.

"Today, employees expect exciting tasks, good supervisors and
colleagues, career prospects and job security," explains Andrea
Jacobsen, Head of Entry Programs at Lufthansa Technik. "In addition,
they expect comprehensive support during the training period. These
features are weighted higher by them than a high training salary or
benefits such as discounted flying or an international environment."
Just at the end of the year, Lufthansa Technik had also expanded and
modernized its training workshop at the Hamburg site in order to make
the training for prospective specialists even more up-to-date and
practice-oriented.

Of the total of 321 new apprenticeship or study places, 215 are
directly attributable to Lufthansa Technik AG, 52 to Lufthansa
Airline's MRO operations and the remaining to companies in the
Lufthansa Technik Group (see list below). This year, women account
for 11 percent of the apprenticeship positions and 18 percent of the
study positions.
