flag easyJet opens 2026 engineering apprenticeships to address workforce shortages, targeting youth with training at UK airports.

flag easyJet has opened applications for its 2026 engineering apprenticeships at major UK airports to combat a projected 27% retirement rate in the aircraft engineering workforce. flag The programme targets 16- to 24-year-olds, offering on-the-job training to overcome barriers like lack of school exposure, perceived qualification gaps, and cost concerns. flag A survey found 65% of young people had never considered engineering, with a notable gender gap. flag The airline is offering 40 places starting in April and October 2026, requiring at least two GCSEs at grade 3 or higher in English and Maths. flag The initiative is backed by easyJet’s engineering director and the UK Aviation Minister as key to building a skilled, sustainable aviation workforce.
