LSIP Workforce Development Partnership: Aviation & Gateway East Advanced Industries Hub

Description

Gateway East is emerging as a major hub for aviation and advanced manufacturing — creating opportunities for growth, innovation, and high-value jobs. But the skills system needs to keep pace with these ambitions. Employers are facing challenges in sourcing talent with the right technical, engineering, and digital capabilities.

This session is your opportunity to change that.

We’re inviting leading businesses, universities, colleges, and training providers to join a new Workforce Development Partnership focused on Aviation and Gateway East Advanced Industries — part of the next phase of South Yorkshire’s Local Skills Improvement Plan.

What does this sector include?

The Aviation and Gateway East Advanced Industries Hub covers:

• Aerospace and aviation operations
• Advanced manufacturing and engineering
• Logistics and supply chain innovation
• Digital systems for aviation and transport
• Sustainable aviation technologies
• Infrastructure and maintenance for next-gen aircraft

These industries are critical to South Yorkshire’s economic future — and they need a workforce ready to deliver.
