Our aviation industry has been long grappling with a chronic lack of engineering talent — with COVID-19 exacerbating the problem.
On this week’s episode, Adam Thorn talks to the RAAA, which last week released a report identifying the causes behind our shortages and what we can do to fix them.
Report author Sheridan Austin and the RAAA’s CEO Steve Campbell discuss why businesses must invest in hiring more apprentices and why rules on transferring qualifications from abroad need to be modernised.
Finally, they examine what can be done to encourage more women into the profession and how long-term aviation stereotypes can be challenged.
