Apply now to join us as a Junior Professional!

What is the Junior Professional Programme?

The Junior Professional Programme (JPP) is a structured career-entry path designed for early-career professionals who aspire to work at ESA for the long-term. Unlike short-term internships or fellowships, this four-year contract provides participants with the opportunity to gain in-depth experience, develop their professional skills and establish themselves as integral members of the ESA team.

Through a tailored development plan, you will work on real ESA projects, rotating across different departments and even engaging with external partners in the space sector. You will benefit from dedicated mentoring and professional training to accelerate your career growth.
