" The number of internship placements at Bombardier has increased steadily over the past few years from 9 McGill interns in 2016-2017, 21 interns in 2017-2018, and 25 interns from McGill were hired in 2018-2019. Bombardier continues to be a company which attracts many students who are interested in the booming aerospace industry in the Montréal area ," said Julie Godin, Engineering Career Centre, McGill University. " With nearly 37,000 positions that need to be filled within the next 10 years, our industry faces a worrisome workforce shortage. Bombardier's impressive internship program announced today will greatly help renew the talent that our industry needs to grow. It also adds to Aéro Montréal's initiatives aimed at ensuring the development of the aerospace workforce in Québec, such as the deployment of the Ose l'Aéro recruitment campaign or the creation of the Aéro Montréal Reorganization (RRAM). This is excellent news for Québec ," said Suzanne M. Benoît, President of Aéro Montréal.
