Did you know The Australian Space Agency aims to triple the size of the Australian space sector and create 20,000 more space jobs in Australia in the next 10 years?
A job in the space sector may seem out of reach, or only available to a select few who want to be an astronaut. But the good news is, there are many space jobs that draw on STEM skills and areas like high-performance computing, software development, industrial design, and engineering.
Jobs in the space sector are incredibly varied. Some people work in space law, or space medicine, while others have expertise in manufacturing or coding, research or communication.
When it comes to your space career, not even the sky’s the limit!
Careerswithstem.com.au is running a free webinar this Wednesday 24 February at 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM AWST where they will discuss future space careers and you can meet real-life, Australian space professionals. You can register for the free event here.
