Careers

Looks like things haven't changed a great deal. "Career" ? Depends what you mean. NATS trains and employs people to be ATCOs. Some will become Training Officers, College Instructors, assist with projects etc. Some will rise to the giddy heights of Watch Managers / Supervisors and a few will become Manager ATC of a Unit. That's about it. The very senior management levels of the company tend to be filled by people brought in from outside though, in the past, there were one or two former ATCOs amongst them. Mr Barron is the latest example brought in from outside. If your true ambition lies in administration, then ATC is not the right choice of career for you.
