Aerosystems International, based at Malvern's Enigma Business Park, recently opened its doors to two pupils from Dyson Perrins CE High School. Elizabeth Crowther and Matthew Lavaggi spent their work experience week at AeI learning about some of the systems and tools used in the development of tactical communications systems.
Taking part in another educational scheme with AeI is Chris Allsopp. Chris has finished his school career, successfully gaining four "A" levels, and has been offered a place at Nottingham University to read Computer Science. Chris has opted to take a year out and through The Royal Academy of Engineering's Year in Industry scheme has a year's contract working with AeI. During that time he will gain experience in the work place in his chosen subject - he is currently working on a mobile communication system. Aerosystems International (AeI) is a world-class company specialising in design, development and delivery of software intensive systems for the aerospace, defence, transport and process industries. Customers include Boeing, Lockheed Martin, BP, MoD, BAE SYSTEMS and GKN serviced by the company.
