We formed this partnership so the Aerospace and Defence community – the multifaceted workforce constituency, companies, educators and trainers, government agencies, but most importantly, people, might better contribute to and benefit from the prosperity of the province. People make things happen – machines and technology are the tools which enable success. 

Prosperity demands enough of the right kind of people in the right kind of careers working in the right kind of business environment to compete effectively. This means being ready now, but it also means being ready to anticipate and prepare for change through innovation and adapting our skills as we anticipate what the dynamic business environment will require for success. 

We must address people’s needs, and the needs for people – our human resources -  synergistically and collaboratively. This Partnership brings together organizations and individuals who directly or indirectly are part of the Aerospace and Defence business.

That is what this Partnership is all about. And we ALL are part of the solution.
