Skyrora Roundtable: Growing UK Space: Designing Our Workforce

The UK space sector has ambitious growth plans, but growth depends on people. From satellite engineering to mission management, the workforce pipeline begins long before university. Are we designing a system that reaches every child or are we narrowing opportunity too early? This interactive round table explores how industry, education, and policy can work cohesively to build a resilient, diverse, and future-ready workforce. From primary school intervention to early career exposure, we will examine what is working, what must change, and what industry can do differently. Securing the future of UK space is not just about technology, it’s about talent. PLEASE NOTE: This session will be held off the show floor, in the South Gallery Meeting Room 20.
