Space South Central is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of space sector talent. Our cluster invests time and resources in a range of hands-on initiatives, including JUPITER’s student satellite missions, CPD upskilling for professionals, and practical engineering training for SMEs and colleges. By blending mentoring, workshops, and real-world projects, we engage and inspire participants at every level. In this session, we’ll share proven best practices and demonstrate how collaboration across academia, industry, and government empowers others to adopt similar approaches - building a diverse, skilled, and future-ready workforce for the UK’s dynamic space sector.
