Space for Technicians?

This report, commissioned by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, investigates the role of technicians in the space industry. The aim of the project on which this report was based was to inform government policy towards technicians by investigating their duties, the skills they are required to have, and how employers obtain them, in the space sector.

The project formed part of a wider programme of research into technician duties, skills and training in various strategically important sectors of the economy, including – in addition to space – the aerospace, composites, chemicals, and nuclear sector.
