- 4. Sapienza Proprietary Information 2015 www.sapienzaconsulting.com - Why do we need to talk about this? The UK space industry adds £7 billion to the economy, supports 70,000 jobs, is growing four times faster than the rest of the UK economy, has the most highly skilled workforce in manufacturing The Space Innovation and Growth strategy sets the interim target revenue for the UK Space Industry at £19 billion by 2020. The final target is £40 billion by 2030 creating 100,000 new jobs Prediction is that £3 billion will be from Upstream and £37 billion in downstream What does 100,000 mean in terms of the skilled work force required to generate these target revenues?
- 5. Sapienza Proprietary Information 2015 www.sapienzaconsulting.com - What skills are required in the upstream industry? Typical Upstream Jobs advertised on the Airbus vacancy website Electronics Communications Mechanical Thermal and Structural Altitude and Orbit Control Systems Quality and Product Assurance Software System Procurement and Contract Repeated across all Space industry vacancy websites including our Sapienza Website
- 6. Sapienza Proprietary Information 2015 www.sapienzaconsulting.com - Where does Sapienza find talent? Extremely hard to find local talent with required skills Currently recruiting from Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece This workforce is more mobile However more mobility means less stability, which can impact long term space projects
- 7. Sapienza Proprietary Information 2015 www.sapienzaconsulting.com - The Space Industry is not the only sector requiring these type of skilled labour Related Sectors Defence Aircraft Traditional Sectors Energy, Utilities Construction Recent Entrance Sectors Technology Automotive All competing to attract young talent
- 8. Sapienza Proprietary Information 2015 www.sapienzaconsulting.com - And what about downstream industries? IGS Target Downstream Markets E-Connectivity – Fixed Satellite Broadband, Broadband to ships and aircraft, Ubiquitous machine to machine, Location based services, Managing unmanned vehicles and hosted payloads Security, Safety & Resilience – Maritime surveillance, Galileo Public Regulated Services Game Changing Services – Low Cost access to space, Persistent Surveillance Climate & Environment services – Climate applications, carbon monitoring & modelling More efficient public sector services – Smart cities/urban services, transport management
- 9. Sapienza Proprietary Information 2015 www.sapienzaconsulting.com - Questions to ponder? Are there space projects/activities out there to inspire young people to take an interest in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics)? Are there sufficient undergraduates studying STEM subjects? Are there sufficient internships for undergraduates studying STEM subjects? Are there sufficient apprenticeships available in the sector? Are sufficient numbers of graduates/post graduates attracted to the sector? Are there sufficient opportunities for graduates/post graduates to see space as their future career?

- Welcome to this mornings session where we want to explore the skills pipeline and whether there are sufficient current initiatives from the UK government, Industry, and Academia to support the job vacancies in the UK space sector today and in the future.
- Firstly, an introduction – I’m Mike Bearman, one of the founders and currently the Managing Director of Sapienza Consulting; we’re a company providing IT solutions and skilled personnel for the Space industry Having graduated with a Masters Degree in Applied Energy, I joined British Aerospace in 1982 on the graduate scheme. After 8 years there I moved to a US Management Consultancy company implementing Project Management software for the European Space Agency for the Columbus module of the International Space Station. In 1994 Sapienza was founded and now has customers across the European Space sector. I guess I’m a product of the skills pipeline from the 80’s
- The format of todays session is as follows: I will start the session with a short overview of the skills market today and pose some questions regarding how we can ensure the talent is there for the future I will then invite three presenters to give a 10-minute perspective on talent maturing schemes that they have used recently. The presenters are Andy Bowyer from Magna Parva, Michael Lawrence from Deimos Space, and William Roberts from NSL. Finally, I will invite to the stage Anu Ohja from the National Space Academy, Nafeesa Dajda from Satellite Applications Catapult and Ross Burgon from the Open University to join us in the session discussion
- Today, the UK space industry adds £7 billion to the economy, supports 70,000 jobs, is growing four times faster than the rest of the UK economy, and has the most highly skilled workforce in manufacturing. You’ll hear this repeated in many of the sessions held today. The Space Innovation and Growth strategy sets the interim target revenue for the UK Space Industry at £19 billion by 2020 with a £40 billion target by 2030. What we want to understand is whether the UK will be prepared to provide the required skilled workforce to support this rapid growth and whether there are sufficient initiatives in place now. We at Sapienza currently provides manpower to the major system integrators across Europe and intergovernmental organization including the European Space Agency We can see that the demand for qualified personnel is increasing not just for engineers but for a variety of supporting roles.
- A quick search on the vacancies on the Airbus Space and Defence website showed 344 vacancies across Europe. 46 of these in the UK. It a similar situation for most of the major players. In fact, if you looked at our Sapienza website, you’ll see a similar set of vacancy profiles As you can see from this slide the vacancies cover the complete spectrum of roles required in a typical Space project.
- So where does Sapienza find talent? Finding local talent is still proving to be difficult. We currently tend to attract candidates from other parts of Europe such as Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece. These people have excellent skills and good levels of experience. They are willing to relocate and do not appear to have a problem integrating into new communities. Our observation here is that although these people are attracted to come and relocate to Northern Europe they tend not to stay long in one position and will move on to a new position within about 2-3 years on average. For industry this is not a stable situation and adds costs due continual recruitment and training. It also adds risks to the organisation due to loss of project knowledge
- Of course we also have to remember that the Space sector has competition for recruiting talent from other sectors. The Defence and Aircraft industries have always traded resources and Space being borne out of these industries therefore competes directly for the same talent. The traditional industries such as energy and transportation are implementing far more challenging technical solutions that require a greater number of skilled resources. And then you have the automotive industry that is now building cars with similar technologies to a spacecraft, and finally the Technology industry who need to pioneer new innovation and therefore attract the best talent. All these requiring their own talent pools.
- And then we need to consider what the Downstream industries will require. The IGS has targeted 15 downstream priority markets which are considered to be worth at least £1 billion annually to UK suppliers within 20 years. Its difficult to gauge out of the 100,000 predicted new jobs, how many will be created by downstream markets. We already see many of these markets gaining momentum; low cost space travel, fixed satellite broadband, smart cities. Skilled engineers will certainly be required to support these markets, but we’ll also need the visionaries and entrepreneurs to exploit further these markets.
- So before I hand over to our presenters, I thought I’d leave you with some questions to ponder which hopefully will bring about discussion after the presentations. Are there space projects/activities out there to inspire young people to take an interest in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics)? We have Tim Peak going to the Space station in November, Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactica, ESA’s missions to various planets, but is this enough? Are there sufficient undergraduates studying STEM subjects? With the competition from a large number of different sectors, how many will eventually end up working in the space sector Are there sufficient internships for undergraduates studying STEM subjects? Providing internships can be seen as a short term drain on company resources. Are there sufficient apprenticeships available in the sector? The UK Government is making this scheme more accessible to companies but is there the links between schools and industry strong enough to ensure students are aware of the possibilities Are sufficient numbers of graduates/post graduates attracted to the sector? Are there sufficient opportunities for graduate’s/post graduates to see space as their future career? Many graduates don’t know what they want as a career. Are the Milkrounds still working? Milkrounds are great for the corporates but how does a graduate connect with SME’s? So now I’ve posed some questions I’d like to let the presenters give you some feedback on some of the schemes available today that they been using
