Graham joined UTC Aerospace Systems and ADS Group, the UK aerospace trade association to learn about the crucial role apprentices play in the £24bn UK aerospace industry.
Graham said: “Here in Weaver Vale, manufacturing for the aerospace industry plays a very important role and it is great that the profile of apprentices in this high end technical sector is being raised.
“The apprentices I met are great Ambassadors for the vibrant and growing UK aerospace industry that exists in the UK. Engineering apprenticeships are hugely important for the future of the UK’s advanced manufacturing industries and it was good to be able to meet a number of young engineers working towards highly-skilled and rewarding aerospace apprenticeships.”
