<p>We recognise the importance of increasing the uptake of STEM skills across all
engineering sectors, including heritage aviation. The Year of Engineering 2018 encourages
aviation partners to engage young people with the sector, such as the Royal Aeronautical
Society’s ‘Cool Aeronautics’ programme.</p><p>Through its grant-making, the Heritage
Lottery Fund supports the development of new skills to look after and share our rich
aviation heritage and collections. Their approach encourages applicants to consider
incorporating apprenticeships, volunteer training and the creation of learning resources
to develop the STEM skills needed to conserve and digitally interpret over 100 years
of aviation history. This has resulted in a number of HLF-funded aviation projects
supporting STEM skills, including the development of an Aviation Heritage Skills course
at Brooklands Museum.</p><p> </p>
