After the positive feedback of the first three editions, the fourth edition of the Aerotech Academy starts, an advanced engineering course on frontier topics, aimed at providing operational skills and capabilities that can be immediately used in advanced technology industrial sectors. The Academy is a result of the cooperation between Leonardo and the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Naples Federico II and is part of the University's project to offer training and career opportunities that are increasingly integrated with the world of industry.
The initiative, aimed at students selected with a specific call (deadline 08/07/2023) and in possession of a qualification equal to at least a three-year degree in engineering or other scientific disciplines, will take place from September 2023 to May 2024 in the Aerotech Campus inside the Leonardo factory in Pomigliano d'Arco (Naples).
The training activities, carried out in English by university professors and Leonardo experts, foresee a commitment of nine months, full-time, of which five in the classroom on research and higher education in the aerospace sector and four of project work conducted in Leonardo factories on the analysis, application and evolution of case studies of work experiences. Attendance at the Academy is recognized by the Federico II university as an internship or further knowledge and can be used to prepare for the master's degree. Furthermore, upon obtaining the certificate of participation, students will receive a scholarship.
The educational program of the Aerotech Academy 2023 is divided into three strands (the core technologies of aerostructures, industry 4.0 and digitization, the challenges for new generation aircraft), each of which is further articulated in specific insights.
