Royal Air Force Cosford
Learning Provider: Telford College of Arts & Technology
Faced with an imminent skills gap, the Royal Air Force Cosford set up an Apprenticeship programme in aircraft restoration to better-enable it to preserve its exhibits. Apprentices are given the opportunity to do hands-on training at the Michael Beetham Conservation Centre in Cosford, where they contribute to ongoing maintenance and restoration projects.
The museum has also developed strong links with Boeing Seattle in the USA with which it runs an exchange programme.
