Copello Global

The defence must start building engineering and technology talent pipelines. Here's why: There is tough competition for qualified and experienced candidates from other sectors like energy, agriculture, finance and more. Therefore, defence needs to have its own pool of curated professionals that it can count on to fill vacant positions. #DefenceTalentPipeline #BuildDefenceProfessionals #TrainingInDefenceSector

For the UK defence to gain a competitive edge in delivering advanced engineering and tech projects, it needs specialised personnel. However, the country is currently struggling to find qualified workers. There's a need for the sector to consider being flexible in its recruitment approach. For instance, most businesses solely focus on applicants who have worked in defence before. However, they could start considering candidates with transferable engineering and tech skills and experience from adjacent fields. #UKDefenceSkillsChallenges #DefenceSectorTalentGap #DefenceAdvancedTechEngineering #EngineeringExcellenceInDefense

The UK must keep up with digital transformation to maintain our country's security and competitiveness in cyberspace. This means they must have the right people in tech areas like: 📌Cybersecurity 📌Artificial Intelligence (AI) 📌Software Engineering #DigitalTransformationUK #DefenceCybersecurity #DefenceArtificialIntelligence #DefenceSoftwareEngineering

In 2026, defence hiring is not just about filling roles. While security-cleared candidates are a must, businesses will have to be more flexible and agile to find their ideal employees, especially for tech vacancies. This will require a more inclusive hiring approach that includes veterans, over-50s, and those who may not have necessarily worked in defence but have relevant skills. #DefenceHiring2026 #DiversityInDefence #InclusiveDefenceHiring

The defence industry is changing faster than at any point in recent memory. AI. Autonomous systems. Digital engineering. New procurement models. Changing government priorities. The skills that built careers over the last decade may not be the skills that define the next. That's exactly why Copello and DSEI Gateway launched the 2026 Defence STEM Future Skills Census. This isn't another salary survey. We're building one of the largest independent pictures of how defence professionals see the future of their careers, the industry's biggest challenges and where the greatest opportunities exist. If you work in: • Systems Engineering • Software Engineering • Manufacturing • Cyber • Project & Programme Management • Commercial • Engineering Leadership Your voice matters. The Census closes on 4 September. Help shape the conversation.

The defence industry is changing rapidly, but one challenge remains constant: ensuring we have the skills and talent to meet future demand. That's why Copello, in partnership with DSEI Gateway, has launched the Defence Census. By taking part, you'll help build a clearer picture of the industry's skills landscape, identify workforce gaps, and highlight the challenges affecting recruitment, retention, and future capability. Whether you're in engineering, cyber, commercial, project management, or another defence role, your perspective matters. The more people who participate, the stronger the insights and the greater the opportunity to drive meaningful change across the sector. Take a few minutes to complete the census and encourage your colleagues to do the same. Together, we can help shape a stronger, more resilient defence workforce. #haveyoursay #census #defencejobs
