Aero PMD: Helping Aerospace Manufacturers Meet Their HR Needs

It’s nothing new. Since the end of the COVID lockdown, the aviation manufacturing industry has been booming, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. According to a recent industry report from Market.Us, global aircraft manufacturing is expected to grow from $405.3 billion (USD) to $641.6 billion over the next ten years. The biggest challenge manufacturers face is meeting the demand for new orders. This boom is pretty much global, and a significant component of that challenge is where to find qualified labour to build and service all these aircraft. Aero PMD was created to help manufacturers address that labour gap with advanced customized training.

Addressing the Labour Gap

Let's dig into the labour gap issue a little further. When a manufacturer wants to hire an assembly technician, there are two tracks they can follow. The first is to hire people with no previous aviation industry experience and train them on the tasks they’ll be responsible for. Training these folks can take longer as they have to learn more foundational skills. Alternatively, they can hire people with recent industry experience or new graduates from technical schools. Even in these cases, however, new hires will require additional training on the specifics of how each manufacturer builds its aircraft.

At Aero PMD, we’ve been in the trenches with major aircraft manufacturers for several years now, and we’ve assembled a team of experienced trainers with real-world industry experience and pedagogical skills. Our team’s expertise and experience allows us to rapidly develop and deliver the type of customized training manufacturers need — training that ensures new hires are work-ready when they hit the factory floor. It may not sound like much, but with internal training teams overloaded and institutional trainers focused on more generic training, it’s a need that is in high demand.

Focused on the Needs of Aerospace Manufacturers

We are focused on one thing to help our partners: providing best-in-class, custom technician training, no matter how big the challenge. And with more than 25 experienced and certified trainers on staff, we can offer a depth of expertise and experience that can’t be matched.

Our focus and experience also allow us to be more responsive to your needs for custom course development and delivery. Your specific needs are what counts for us, and your timeline is our timeline. We’re fully certified to produce, develop, and deliver the custom training you need to keep your production schedules on track — without ever sacrificing quality and at very competitive costs.

We specialize in training for structural assemblers, mechanical assemblers, composite assemblers, cable assemblers, electrical harness installers, aeronautical painters, and health and safety training. With these specialties, we cover pretty much the full range of technician job requirements, meaning we can be a one-stop shop for our clients' training needs.
