I had a few pilots work in my AMO. It was full time casual work (if they were any good with hands). They got to learn most of what they can do in Shed 8 and I often gave them a Maintenance Manual DVD so they had data that was current on the aircraft they were going to fly.
I think they all got jobs within the year. One the owner called me and said he wanted to employee him, 2 others I recommended to my customers & another went on to start his own unique flying operation out of Darwin.
Don't work for nothing!
If you just want to learn tasks for Shed 8 (try get it for free) - I only did that training for customers pilots and thus got paid for teaching them.
