100 responses to the NTC skills survey were received over a period of three weeks during March and April 2020.
- 76% of respondents say that TFS skills are important to their organisation.
- 60% of companies have difficulty recruiting in this area, often finding it is easier to recruit people with complementary skills and then train them ‘on the job’.
- 60% of UK-based respondents who indicated that TFS skills are important to them reported just 1-10 TFS-skilled employees within their organisation.
- All TFS topics had significant skill gaps identified, the TFS topics ranked highest priority were ‘Satellite based TFS’ and ‘GNSS vulnerabilities’.
- Organisations are currently very dependent on in house or on the job training, but many would be interested in external training such as courses, workshops, conferences or online training.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who responded to the NTC skills survey.
