(PRESS RELEASE) DUBLIN, IRELAND, 2025-Feb-17 — /Travel PR News/ — Aer Lingus is inviting applications for its highly sought-after Aircraft Engineer Apprenticeship Programme, offering individuals with a strong technical and mechanical interest the chance to kickstart a career in aviation engineering. Aspiring engineers are encouraged to apply by the deadline of 28th February 2025.
This four-year apprenticeship, developed in partnership with SOLAS—the State’s further education and training agency, Technological University Dublin, and South East Technological University—provides hands-on experience and professional training, leading to a fully recognized qualification as an Aircraft Engineer. Apprentices will have the unique opportunity to work on Aer Lingus’ modern fleet of aircraft, including the A320 Classic, the latest A321 XLR, and the A330.
Throughout the programme, apprentices will be paid, with a structured pay scale provided by both Aer Lingus and SOLAS during the four-year training period.

Apprentices will then return to Dublin to continue their training, working under the supervision of experienced engineers while also attending classes at Technological University Dublin (TUD) or South East Technological University (SETU) to complete the required modules for the EASA license.
