Lufthansa Technik (LHT) has moved to address a pressing need for more maintenance technicians and engineers with a recruitment drive that saw 321 people enter the company’s apprenticeship program this year. The MRO said it needs mechanics, electronics technicians for devices and systems, engineers, and junior staff for the logistics department and the commercial sector.

Germany-based LHT calls the training of highly qualified employees “a central measure” because Lufthansa Technik competes with numerous other companies preparing for the changes brought by what it called the upcoming generation shift and digitalization.
