To combat a global shortage of aircraft technicians, CAE is implementing innovative training strategies designed to bridge the gap left by retiring veterans. These solutions include hybrid classrooms that use advanced sensors to engage remote students and modular courses that allow workers to learn in flexible, manageable segments. The company is also prioritising leadership development through specific programmes aimed at transitioning skilled technicians into management roles. By incorporating virtual reality and digital booking tools, CAE modernises the learning experience to suit a younger, tech-savvy workforce. Ultimately, these initiatives aim to improve employee retention and ensure the safety and efficiency of the aviation maintenance sector.
