The UK accounts for 22% of the global defence export market, while the size of the UK\u2019s aerospace sector is second only to the US.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"last-child\">But with other nations increasing their demand for aerospace technology, the UK will have to innovate to compete.  That\u2019s why today\u2019s announcement of the Aerospace Growth Partnership for Skills is so important.  Through it, the UK\u2019s aerospace companies can work together to help define and shape the skills that they need to compete on the global stage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"last-child\">As with all industrial partnerships, this collaboration is led by one of the industry\u2019s largest businesses \u2013 Airbus \u2013 but is supported by all the UK\u2019s leading aerospace companies, including AgustaWestland, BAE Systems, Bombardier, GKN and Rolls-Royce.  It is also backed by the Royal Academy of Engineering and ADS.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"last-child\">For every \u00a31 of public money invested via the Employer Ownership Pilot, industry is forecast to contribute \u00a31.70, making a total investment of \u00a320.6 million in this partnership.  This will help the sector develop a range of innovative programmes, including ways to attract and retain young people and developing higher-level skills through industry-led masters courses.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>(Photo above by <a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nguyendai\/694158734\">Quy Nguyen Dai<\/a> on Flickr.
