Rocket Lab now operates a series of world-first education programs, including its international Space Ambassador program, that delivers inspiring and interactive education experiences to schools and students. The company has also supported more than 60 tertiary students through internships at Rocket Lab, with 90% of those students graduating into full time permanent positions. Rocket Lab recently introduced New Zealand’s first aerospace apprenticeship, which allows New Zealanders to gain a trade qualification in Aeronautical Engineering for the first time, with 20 apprentices currently undertaking their aerospace and composites trades qualifications at Rocket Lab.
Recognising that New Zealand is in the process of developing a home-grown talent pool in aerospace, Rocket Lab offers two financial aid opportunities to students pursuing careers in STEM and space from New Zealand schools.
