Collins Aerospace has been actively engaging with the local community for decades in order to promote the aerospace industry in Wolverhampton. Collins Aerospace, a unit of Raytheon Technologies, is a leader in technologically advanced and intelligent solutions for the global aerospace and defence industry.

Oliver Herrmann, Early Careers Lead at Collins, said: “We are committed to supporting our local community in a number of ways, including investments into local STEM outreach. We are working with local education providers to develop STEM talent pipelines in order to ensure that fresh and skilled talent are prepared to enter the industry in the future.” In 2022, Collins launched the ‘Enthuse’ partnership, which focuses on making STEM more accessible to women and underrepresented groups. “Our STEM learning initiative sees to support eight primary and secondary schools in the Wolverhampton area where STEM education is most needed over the next two years,” Herrmann added. Through the partnership, teachers will gain professional development and be encouraged to engage in STEM to achieve higher levels of achievement, especially among disadvantaged and underrepresented students. Collins is committed to investing in local jobs and people, shown through the continued support of apprentices, graduates, and industrial placement students every year. As of 2018, more than 76 apprentices, 39 graduates, and 45 industrial placements had been recruited, and that number continues to rise. 36 PROSPER SPRING 2023
