HAECO Xiamen has recently signed a collaboration agreement with Xiamen City University (XMCU). The agreement formalises co-operation between the two organisations to develop talented young professionals for the aircraft maintenance industry.

Students who enrol in the joint XMCU-HAECO Xiamen programme will receive basic skills training in aircraft maintenance at the HAECO Xiamen Technical Training Centre over the course of their three-year academic studies at XMCU. This will give them exposure to the aircraft maintenance industry and, upon graduation, students will receive higher diplomas from XMCU and training certificates from HAECO Xiamen. The integrated programmes will fast-track the process of developing high-quality aircraft maintenance mechanics, reducing course time by six months. The partners will continue to refine the programme's curriculum, assessment criteria, and develop student recruitment plans.
