Qantas Plans To Open Engineering Academy

As part of its efforts to meet its challenging employee hiring targets over the next ten years, Qantas intends to construct its own engineering training academy.

The engineering academy will have the ability to train up to 300 engineers annually, according to the carrier. The facility’s location will be decided upon by Qantas in 2023, and the first students will start receiving their training there in 2025.

The academy will supply aviation engineers to the Qantas Group as well as the larger aviation industry. In order to accomplish its growth objectives and take retirements into account, Qantas predicts that it will require roughly 200 additional engineer hires each year.

In order to handle growth and attrition, the carrier intends to hire more than 30,000 frontline employees across all facets of its business during the following ten years. By 2033, it will have roughly 32,000 workers overall, up from its current workforce of 23,500. 4,500 members of the cabin crew, 1,600 pilots, 800 engineers, and 1,600 other operational jobs are anticipated to make up the 8,500 additional positions.
