Access to Skills
The space sector in Cornwall is growing fast, and companies are
looking for the skills of tomorrow, today.
A 164% increase since 2010 and over 50 companies means
an abundance of local talent for recruitment and
collaboration opportunities.
Transferable skills from RNAS Culdrose and RAF St Mawgan are
building stronger links between the Ministry of Defence and local
businesses looking for new opportunities in the sector.
