European Commission's job platform for internships

European Commission's initiative attracts young people to a career in space sector.

The initiative of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space (DG DEFIS) aims to promote the space sector as a career option for students and young professionals in Europe. It also has the aim to generate more consciousness about the space sector in Europe in general.

Part of this initiative is a job platform for internships and entry-level positions: the Space Career Launchpad. 

The use of the platform is completely free of charge. And it only takes a few clicks to register a company profile. 

The platform is accompanied by a marketing campaign – among others with testimonial videos from European Space companies, which deliver an inspiring message to young people to consider an internship or a first job in space.
