MBI in a statement today said the candidates were among 36 applicants who are eligible to go for the interview session through the Selangor Aerospace Apprentice Programme (SAAP).
“This morning (yesterday), there was an interview session for the first batch placement of the Engine Maintenance Programme under the SAAP in collaboration with GE Engine Services Sdn Bhd (GE Malaysia).
“We received a total of 118 applications and 36 candidates have been shortlisted through the screening process,” MBI said on Facebook.
