The New Professionals Forum (NPF) is a networking and professional development forum for industry professionals new to the aerospace, defence, security and space sectors. The NPF is an inclusive and supportive group and is always keen to welcome new members.
The forum hosts webinars, in-person events and builds partnerships to create other touchpoints. The group has supported many people through learning more about our sectors, building new skills, gaining confidence and making new friends.
As well as participating in our events, there is the option of 'micro-volunteering' - such as hosting a site visit, runing a workshop or joining our Annual Conference planning team.
Membership of the group is open to all ADS member companies. You need to register a profile in the members area first. Then, click on the Join button in the members area for the New Professionals Group or alternatively please contact Nicola Green by emailing nicola.green@adsgroup.org.uk
The NPF is a thriving community, represented by a core Steering Group led by an Executive Committee that meets regularly to maintain momentum and build on success.
At the NPF AGM on 26 August, it was agreed that we will pause elections for 2026/7 Executive Committee. Our focus will be to increase members of the Steering Group.
If you’re looking to build your leadership skills, meet new people, and create real impact, we encourage you to sign up to our NPF Steering Group.
Whether you’re new to the NPF or have been with us for a while, this is a great opportunity to get involved and help shape this vibrant community.
