Since 2002, the Space Science & Technology (SS&T) of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has been coordinating technical lectures & training courses for CSA employees and managers (e.g. FOCUS on Technology & Space Technology Expertise Program (STEP) course series). These courses have been offered in-house, in collaboration with partnering agencies (CNES/ESA/NASA) as invited lecture series, or through contracted out specialized courses suppliers.
The CSA internal need is to maintain and increase the required skill set in order to be able to effectively deliver on the CSA core mandate and long term space strategy. To this end, technical courses are required to maintain expertise. These courses are to be offered in a cost efficient manner and are required to be aligned with the CSA needs. The Science & Technology courses also fosters innovation, and is to enhance the organization's capacity to assimilate new techniques and technologies.
