IASTI Readies for Significant Expansion Plans in 2022

The International Air & Space Training Institute (IASTI) and its Stakeholder Board – chaired by Boeing and including high-level support from Embraer, the UK  Royal Air Force, London City Airport, and the University of Central Lancashire – have been systematically evaluating the first eight weeks of operation of the flagship IASTI London City programme and have unanimously agreed that the training and engagement model created by IASTI to meet the STEM Subject ethos is ready for significant expansion in 2022, not only in the UK, but also across  global educational establishments.

The results and feedback from the students and teaching bodies of the more than 50 inclusive and diverse learners on the IASTI Launch 2 Pathway (16-18 year olds) and the initial deployment of the IASTI Launch 1 Pathway (age 18 and over) with partners  have surpassed all educational and training expectations.

Based on its positive experience and the global need, IASTI is confident that its training and engagement model is ready to deploy internationally in order to play a key part in the post-pandemic global recovery, offering as it does a practical and affordable method of creating a sustainable supply of engaged and right skilled people for the relaunched industry. Therefore, IASTI is launching its global plans, supported by the UK ‘pilot’, and will be actively seeking and selecting countries, regions and partners who can help them to achieve the full integration of industry-led training and education and the global roll-out that the industry needs.

Details of the 2022 scale-up are due to be released on December 1st at a special virtual event. This will include further UK locations and the first international projects.
