The Part 147 accreditation awarded to 2Excel Engineering is closely linked to a comprehensive Company apprenticeship scheme that supports the progression of a new generation of trainee aerospace engineers. By developing the next generation and offering additional qualifications, 2Excel Engineering is enhancing the quality of its workforce at Lasham and providing career advancement opportunities for its people, ultimately boosting their earning potential through relevant type ratings.
See-Wing Law, 2Excel Engineering's Training Manager, spearheaded the project with her unwavering determination to succeed and collaborative spirit. She said: “It was the collective efforts of the entire team that resulted in this achievement” adding “it is our company values that got us to this point,” highlighting the importance of investing in people.
As part of its long-term vision, 2Excel Engineering aspires to offer external training opportunities and share the Company’s expertise with a wider audience. This commitment not only contributes to the growth and development of the UK’s vital aerospace sector but also aligns with the UK Government’s national prosperity and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) agendas, fostering a thriving ecosystem of skilled professionals in the industry.
