Spaced Out ::

I missed this last year, but it’s well worth flagging to all undergraduates as a fantastic way to get industry experience - Space Placements in INdustry (SPIN). As they say on their webpage:

“The Space Placements in INdustry scheme (SPIN) has been designed to provide an introductory link for undergraduate students considering employment in the space sector and space sector organisations looking to find the most talented and enthusiastic people to ensure the future success of their businesses.”

The programme takes students in their 2/3 or 3/4 year of an undergraduate degree and work over an 8 week duration, being paid on the job. The 2016 round will open shortly so keep your eyes on the website.
