Future Career
Opportunities
Space Science:
Job opportunities for graduates exist within the aerospace industry,
the Canadian Space Agency, the Meteorological Service of Canada
and the rapidly growing "earth observation" industries,
as well as in universities for Ph.D. graduates. Students in our
programs receive an interdisciplinary training and develop skills
highly sought after by employers in both the private and public
sectors.
Space Engineering:
Our activities in space are supported by a large global industry
that generates more than $120 billion in revenues annually. Canadian
industry is responsible for roughly 1% of the global market and
is growing rapidly. More than 5,000 people are employed in the
Canadian space industry with comparable numbers also employed
in the government and academic sectors. Well trained and qualified
personnel are highly sought after by all sectors and there are
many opportunities to work at home and abroad. More than 40 nations
are now developing space programs and the commercial market for
space products and services is expanding rapidly. It is anticipated
that with increasing access to space, the industry will continue
to grow over the next decade fuelling a further shortage of qualified
personnel to fill positions within the space industry and other
related high technology fields.
