Skillset

While ESCO's 13,939 skills cover a broad spectrum across various industries, a focused subset of 30 to 45 skills tailored to the space sector would be more practical and relevant for a job-ready engineer to succeed in the space industry. This number includes both core technical competencies and the softer, yet equally crucial, skills needed to navigate the complex, interdisciplinary, and often international nature of space projects
