How We Use Your Data
Aerospace is a vital sector across the EU. Recognising and addressing skills gaps and enabling the personal development of well-trained and skilled employees to support growth will make a significant contribution to the advancement of the key Europe 2020 aims of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. In particular, AEERO will contribute towards the objectives of the ‘Agenda for New Skills and Jobs’ by equipping people with the right skills needed for jobs in aerospace; a sector with enormous potential and need for growth in the face of non-EU competition.
AEERO incorporates a number of innovative elements, which can be broadly split into 4 areas of innovation: The Target Users – intermediate to advanced apprentices, established workers, trainers, businesses and other stakeholder organisations within the aerospace sector.
These objectives will be reached through focused training workshops, realization of innovative outputs, events and transnational meetings. We may process your personal information for the following purposes:
