Workforce Development
Manitoba Aerospace works with educational partners and other key stakeholders to ensure that education and training systems have the capacity to produce the skilled workforce that industry needs, provide access to custom training to keep industry competitive. Manitoba Aerospace works with youth, parents and educators to provide a steady supply of students into the educational pathways that lead to careers in the local sector.
Our Workforce Development Pillar is comprised of four key areas: Training of Existing Employees, Career Development, Career Awareness, and Leadership Development.
Employee Training Program
The Employee Training Program provides direct support for employers to deliver employee training that enables businesses to:
-
- adapt to tariffs and market shifts
- pivot to new business opportunities
- support business recovery and maintain their workforce
Career Development
The Manitoba aerospace industry currently employs over 5000 people in more than 25 companies in the province of Manitoba. This is a result of steady growth in the industry in the last 15 years and the ability of our training/educational institutions to provide a reliable stream of well trained employees.
Career Awareness
Manitoba Aerospace collaborates with a variety of educational, industry and community partners to ensure that youth, parents and educators are aware that there are permanent, educational pathways to great careers available in the sector.

Leadership Development
Based on a comprehensive consultation with industry, Manitoba Aerospace developed a customized leadership development and deployment program. Derived from best practices from a number of leading high performance aerospace and non-aerospace companies, the program is delivered through Manitoba Aerospace’s training and development group: Competitive Edge Strategic Development Services (CESD Services).
