“The collaboration with Fosen meets the need to educate more aviation engineers in Norway. The agreement is important for us to be able to maintain and develop our employees’ expertise and provide the right competence at the right time to the Norwegian Air Force,” said Terje Bråthen, Executive Vice President, Aerostructures and MRO at Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
“Fosen is proud to be able to contribute important aviation engineering expertise and looks forward to a long-term and good collaboration,” says Therese M Eidsaune, Principal and Accountable Manager at the school.
The proximity to the Ørland Air Base is important for the school, which has a unique student offering that includes a DA-20 JetFalcon, a Sea King helicopter and an F-16 fighter jet. The school also has extensive cooperation with 132 Air Wing at Ørlandet and offers school places for military personnel who need additional aviation technical expertise.
