The qualitative research method has been applied to identify the special knowledge and skills and regulation standard for the MRO industry. The literature review method has been conducted for understanding the current supply of the course offerings in Thailand. Finally, the gap findings from this study showing the demand for the industry-specific knowledge and skills and the supply from academic and non-academic institutes will be used for MRO workforce planning in the future.
