Recently 157 students entered Lufthansa Technik Group’s training program to pursue their choice of a possible 15 aerospace professions and courses of study. There were 10 more students in this year’s class than in last year's inaugural class. The 2016 selection process is already under way and the school is designed to support 560 students on their way to professions in technical aircraft services or aircraft logistics. This year’s group has trainees being assigned to facilities in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Arnstadt, Alzey and Munich.

Hamburg’s 78 trainees will become aircraft mechanics with specialties in maintenance, engines, production engineering and avionics. In addition, this year 12 people will begin their training as tool mechanics, seven as specialists for inventory administration and two as surface-coating technicians. There are also new trainees in Hamburg for practice-oriented aircraft engineers (bachelor of engineering), practice-oriented electrical engineers (bachelor of science), two mechanical engineers (bachelor of science) and two students of mechatronics. The academic coursework to qualify for a college degree takes place at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences.
