Is there a problem?
Project
• Assess whether there is a current / potential future resource issue
• The review should include realistic recommendations on a CAA AW strategy and how to monitor the supply chain numbers, gaps and standards.
The UK Engineering Industry
UK Engineering contributes £455.6 billion to GDP (5.5 million Employees)
– Air/spacecraft manufacture contributes £21.1 billion
– MRO contributes £15.7 billion
and employs 56,696 employees
(1% of the UK Engineering industry)
Current Trends
• Growing demand for air travel = increasing number of aircraft
• Technology developments
• Managing Ageing fleet & New fleet– New materials / Improved reliability / Extended check intervals

Civil and MOD apprentice intake of aircraft technicians
• MOD struggling to retain suitably qualified experienced personnel
• 14,000 personnel leave the MOD annually
• 22% of MOD leavers go to skilled trade occupations compared to 11% of all UK population

Graduate Route• Degree programme is diverse
• No clear path into any specific aviation sector
• Lack of engagement between manufacturers, industry and ALL academic institutions to ensure all are working together to align skills to support industry

Employers involved in the trailblazer groups
NOS outcomes
• Only 9% of the engineering workforce is female. And only 6% of registered engineers and technicians (i.e. CEng, IEng, EngTech) are women
• The UK has the lowest percentage of female engineering professionals in Europe
• Women accounted for only 3.8% of Engineering apprenticeship starts
• Of the 14,032 Part-66 Licence holders in the UK in 2016, only 1.34% (188 are female)
• How can we encourage morewomen into the industry?

Conclusions
Is there a current / potential future resource issue?
Yes….But
National Awarding Organisation
Accreditation update
Since the issuance of the City and Guilds 2675 Rev 5 (2016) accreditation certificate, there have been no further takers from any other Awarding Organisation.
The Defence School of
Aeronautical Engineering DSAE,
(Army)
• Representatives from REME (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) Joint Training Development Team have opened a dialog with the CAA with a view to aligning their current training with the Part 66 modules.
• The training syllabus will align with the Part 66 basic training modules (less the air legislation)
• A cross mapping exercise is now underway and deltas are being identified.
Part 66 SUBPART E Examination credits
• CAA proposal for recognising aeronautical degrees issued by UK universities
• Examination credit towards an EASA Cat C licence
• Further modules may be required (e.g. M9, M10)
• Practical experience within a Part 145 maintenance environment will be required
• First type C will require completion of B1.1 or B2 type course
