Employability & Careers
Space Humber is committed to developing the talent pipeline needed to fuel the region's growing space sector. We connect individuals with opportunities, help identify and develop transferable skills, and provide the guidance needed to successfully navigate careers in this exciting industry.
The space sector offers diverse and rewarding career paths that extend far beyond astronauts and rocket scientists. Today's space industry encompasses satellite technology, data analytics, advanced manufacturing, telecommunications, earth observation, navigation, and countless commercial applications.
The UK space sector is experiencing rapid growth, with the government's National Space Strategy aiming to capture 10% of the global space economy by 2030. This expansion is creating unprecedented employment opportunities, with particular growth in the regions outside traditional space hubs.
The Humber region, with its rich heritage in engineering, maritime navigation and telecommunications, provides an ideal foundation for developing careers in the space industry. Many skills from adjacent sectors—such as offshore energy, advanced manufacturing, logistics and IT—are directly transferable to space-related roles.
