Embarking on a New Engineering Pathway

The quality and safety of our flights is one of the main reasons why MAF has such a fantastic reputation in the aviation industry. Our highly trained engineers play a critical role in upholding our exceptional standards.

Today we face a critical worldwide engineering shortfall. This shortfall has been a concern in the aviation industry for nearly a decade, with Boeing’s most recent engineering forecast predicting a worldwide demand for 769,000 new engineers by 2038. The global aviation engineering workforce will need to add almost 38,000 new engineers each year to meet this projected demand. For MAF, this global situation is reflected in a current shortfall of aircraft maintenance engineers across our organisation. As MAF International seeks to expand the ministry to new countries, this shortfall will hinder new programme growth and create significant organisational stress.

As a direct response to this urgent need, MAF is developing clear engineering pathways to encourage experienced engineers to serve as apprentices to train with the organisation. At our base in Mareeba (near Cairns) we have developed an engineering apprenticeship programme:

Once qualified, you will have the chance to travel the world, immerse yourself in different cultures, traditions, foods, hospitality, and love of some of the world’s most isolated communities. Your faith will grow as God opens your eyes to the difference His love and provision makes.

Remember Psalm 128:2 “You will definitely enjoy what you’ve worked hard for — you’ll be happy; and things will go well for you.”

And Proverbs 8:30 “Then I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him.”
