What makes Connected Places Catapult unique? Our people.
What makes Connected Places Catapult unique is the people. The passion and commitment to making the world a better place and the diversity of thought and backgrounds within our workforce make coming to work a real pleasure!
I am genuinely inspired by how Connected Places Catapult lives its values. The forward-thinking policies and benefits are a testament to our commitment to creating an inclusive, supportive, and truly unique workplace.
CPC recently funded my attendance at a Model-Based Systems Engineering course, which was a brilliant opportunity for professional development and to learn a new skill. And thanks to the generous pension double-matching scheme, I’m able to plan and save for retirement with confidence.
