Space Career Launchpad
The Space Career Launchpad (SCL) is an initiative of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space (DG DEFIS), designed to connect talent, skills and opportunities across the European space ecosystem.
The Space Career Launchpad is a one-stop platform for space careers and skills, designed to connect students, graduates, professionals, educators, companies and organisations across Europe. It helps bridge the gap between education, skills development and employment by offering access to internships, entry-level and senior roles, education and training opportunities, career guidance, professional development support, and pathways into the space sector.
At the same time, the platform enables organisations to showcase opportunities, connect with emerging talent, and engage with a growing community of space professionals and future workforce candidates. Whether you are starting your career, building new skills, recruiting talent, supporting learners, or looking to better understand the European space sector, the Space Career Launchpad provides the tools and resources to help you navigate and contribute to the future of Europe’s space workforce.
