Flying high

Article Abstract:

A lack of skilled engineers has led to UK engineering firm British Aerospace developing a framework of training and retention projects to help increase the numbers of trainee engineers while holding on to existing employees. British Aerospace chief executive John Weston claims the introduction of graduate training and a Virtual University has increased the numbers of skilled engineering applying for work and staying in the company. Weston believes the engineering professions needs to be made more attractive to graduates and trainees, to ensure the engineering industry can meet the demands of the future.
