AN INTEGRATED RESEARCH OF AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE OFFICER COMPETENCIES.

A precondition of the proper functioning of our organizations and the success of their operations is a sizeable body of well-trained professionals. The execution of their tasks requires their taking part at a standardized, professional development scheme. In order to ensure that the next generations of military professionals can face the challenges of the workplace, regular research is necessary to clear what competencies they need.
