Understand your skills pipeline

We offer data, analysis, and expertise on space skills and recruitment.

We work with employers, central and local government, academia, training providers, and the third-sector.

Commission us to do independent research and analysis, or have us come in and work with your team to improve your processes.

Drop us a line at info@spaceskills.org and we’d be very happy to discuss how we can collaborate.
