Description

UK Government estimates that UK defence spending supports around 434,000 highly skilled and well-paid jobs in all regions and nations of the UK. Despite this, the national skills shortage remains a critical challenge in the Defence sector.


In this episode we therefore look at what Team Tempest and the development of the UK’s FCAS capability, has to offer Suitably Qualified Experienced Professionals and why a career in the UK aerospace industry should be of interest to all ages and skill sets. Joining host Zevi Watmough to discuss the topic further are:



  • John McCullough, MBDA, Sales and Business Development Executive, FCAS

  • MJ, People Leader, UK MOD

  • Sarah, Skills Future Supply Integration Lead, BAE Systems
