Project management pilot scheme


Groveley has been awarded funding for an innovative Project Management pilot scheme – a Government project supported by Airbus via WEAF. The scheme has commenced and will run until late March 2016.

The Employer Skills Programmes scheme highlights development opportunities and provides accredited PM qualification. Intervention is intended to be bespoke and tailored to each target company’s PM needs/gaps to improve areas such as procurement cycles and regulation.

It’s part of the Aerospace Growth Partnership (The AGP), a strategic partnership between government and industry, established to secure the future of the UK aerospace industry for the next 20 years and beyond. It was set up in 2010 as a vehicle to tackle barriers to growth, boost exports and grow the number of high value jobs in the UK. 

The scheme was originally developed for the northern defence industry by Northwest Aerospace Alliance and is now being rolled out around the UK.
