All major projects are multinational, involving cooperation with foreign companies and governments.
Firms need a new kind of employee with new international qualifications. And huge though the companies are in this sector, none of them is large enough to go it alone on this kind of scheme. Firms therefore need staff who have a clear understanding of the global markets driving the aerospace industry. They need project managers who can operate in an international arena, who are comfortable working in different cultures, who can communicate in other languages, and who know the strengths and weaknesses of their colleagues' different academic backgrounds. This is largely because of the different structures and sequence of the degree programmes in different countries.
