Careers Launch is our brand of events that aim to launch your career in space!\u00a0<\/p>

At Careers Launch events, professionals working in the space sector share their career experiences and advice with delegates through short talks, panel discussions, and a speed networking session.\u00a0<\/p>

<\/p>

In person events are run for university students each year alongside the British Interplanetary Society\u2019s Reinventing Space Conference, and for 15-18 year old students alongside our own flagship conference, the National Student Space Conference, every March. Other stand alone events may take place during the year.<\/p>

<\/p>

We also run online Careers Launch events throughout the year, follow\u00a0this link<\/a>\u00a0for past and upcoming events!\u00a0<\/p>

<\/p>

Each Careers Launch showcases the variety of jobs and routes into the space sector, and our delegates always find attending very valuable – on average 91% of all Careers Launch delegates have rated the event at 4 or 5 out of 5 for the extent of which it increased their knowledge of careers and pathways within the sector.<\/p>
