Space Placements in Industry
Funding opportunity for Placement Hosts/Employers
The Space Placements in Industry (SPIN) scheme brokers placement opportunities for university students considering employment in the space sector and connects them to space sector organisations who not only want to find the most talented and enthusiastic people to ensure the future success of their businesses, but also to ensure a pipeline of space savvy candidates coming out of education. Students are enthusiastic to work in the space sector and are keen to develop new skills.
This year, we invite applications for the 2025 scheme for all those host companies who would be in a position to fund their own SPINterns.
As such, this process is significantly streamlined for 2025, as the programme is not in a position to provide funding support for our hosts. However, being part of the SPINternship group provides:
- Advertisement hosted on the SPIN website to leverage our community of students
- Free access to the Be Applied hiring platform with a track record of championing unbiased hiring
- Optional attendance at the Catapult Induction Day and SPIN Showcase
- Support to the programme to allow us to build toward future sponsorship of the programme
- Access to any subsequent funding support that may become available to us for 2025

Applied Platform
Applied is the only recruitment software with fairness, inclusivity and diversity at its core. Their smart talent acquisition platform is unlike a traditional applicant tracking system. It challenges the status quo, helping you make better recruitment decisions.
Backed by data and behavioural science, Applied offers a more effective approach to hiring – no bias included. With anonymised applications and predictive, skill-based assessments, this software can identify the very best talent that you might be missing out on.
Applied Training
Zoom Training Sessions - Applied is an ethical hiring ATS. You’ll be using the Applied software to manage your hiring process, so we’re running a programme of training sessions to make sure you feel comfortable on the new technology. Training sessions are free to book for all participating members of the SPIN programmes.
