We’re really excited to be teaming up with UK RAS STEPS to support their new fully funded placement scheme for Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) and Research Technicians working in robotics and autonomous systems (RAS).
These placements are a brilliant way to gain hands-on experience, learn from new teams, and build networks across the UK. And the best bit? They’re fully funded.
As part of the programme, HEaTED will be running a series of short, practical online sessions to help you get the most out of your placement:
Discover the benefits of placements (Jan 2026) - explore how placements can boost your skills and confidence.
Prepare for placement (Feb 2026) - set clear goals and get ready to make an impact.
One-to-one coaching - personalised support while you’re on your placement to help you reflect, problem-solve, and grow.
We’ll be drawing on our trainers’ experience working with technicians across research and higher education, making sure every participant feels supported from start to finish.
Whether you’re looking to build new technical skills, swap ideas, or connect with other technicians, this is a fantastic opportunity to take the next step in your career.
