Gillian Keegan MP welcomes apprentices to House of Commons
Over 100 apprentices from some of Britain’s leading aerospace, defence, security and space companies attended the ADS Parliamentary Reception in the House of Commons this week.
The apprentices were joined by Gillian to celebrate the 12,000 apprenticeships provided by the UK’s aerospace, defence, security and space industries.
Organised by the trade organisation ADS Group, and sponsored by United Technologies Aerospace Systems, the event recognised the valuable contribution apprentices make to our important, high-skill manufacturing industries, and highlighted the world-leading technologies that many of the apprentices are working to develop.
Gillian said:
“It was great to welcome so many apprentices to the House of Commons, and to meet so many young and talented people working towards highly-skilled careers in the UK’s advanced manufacturing industries.”
Paul Everitt, Chief Executive of ADS Group, said:
“Companies in the UK’s aerospace, defence, security and space industries offer high quality apprenticeships and provide young people with routes into high value, long term jobs. Many of the apprentices at this week’s reception will be the industry leaders of tomorrow and it is great for them to see the political support for our industries and their future prosperity.”
