As well as the training and upskilling we undertake as early careers graduates at NATS, we also get opportunities to hone our abilities in areas such as team working, collaboration and leadership. One of the key activities the cohort take part in each year is a charity fundraiser, and this year it was our turn to organise a month of fundraising events in June.

To mark this year’s Volunteers’ Week, we shine a light on some of our employees who volunteer in their spare time and find out why it’s important to them.

Students from Dorset and Hampshire schools recently visited the NATS air traffic control centre in Swanwick as part of a charitable initiative to inspire young people through a passion for aviation. The visits are part of NATS’ partnership with the Jon Egging Trust (JET).
