Aerospace Re-Skilling For Operations (AeRO)

Is your business in the aerospace industry? Get a grant to send new and inexperienced staff for theoretical and basic skills training.

For who?

  • Singapore-based companies in the aerospace industry who wish to hire and train jobseekers without industry experience for technical jobs.

  • Individuals who wish to become technicians in the aerospace industry.

  • Trainees under this grant must:

    • be Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents
    • have 'N' or 'O' levels (English and one other subject)

For what?

  • To encourage aerospace businesses to hire jobseekers without aviation engineering experience by subsidising the costs of training inexperienced new employees to become technicians.

  • From the jobseeker’s perspective, AeRO encourages those without aviation engineering experience to take up jobs as technicians in the industry.

  • Trainees under AeRO will attend 3-4 months of theoretical and basic skills training.

  • The theoretical and basic skills training is conducted by the Air Transport Training College (ATTC), the training arm of Singapore Institute of Aerospace Engineers. For a list of courses and fees, please contact ATTC.
