Aviation skills opps return to UK's Doncaster region

Doncaster College & University Centre and the Aviation Skills Partnership (ASP) have partnered to bring aviation skills development opportunities back to the Doncaster region.

Twenty years after the aviation opportunities in the region were heavily affected with the closure of RAF Finningley, in a positive and highly significant move for the region and the aspirations of its young people, as well as those seeking re-skilling opportunities, ASP and the Doncaster College & University Centre have reached agreement to work together to develop new aviation pathways and skills initiatives.
