City College Plymouth: Empowering Students Through the Maritime Skills, Careers, and Diversity Programme

City College Plymouth is proud to take part in an exciting initiative that will transform opportunities for students interested in the maritime sector. Maritime UK South West has secured funding from the Department for Transport to deliver the Maritime Skills, Careers, and Diversity Programme, a groundbreaking project designed to develop vital skills, champion career pathways, and promote diversity within the maritime industry.

Alongside Petroc, Bournemouth and Poole College, and South Devon College, City College Plymouth will deliver a series of events to support businesses and promote maritime careers to young people across the region.

This programme aligns with the College’s mission to equip students with the knowledge and expertise needed to excel in key industries. As a hub for maritime education in Britain’s Ocean City, we are uniquely positioned to ensure our students gain access to this innovative programme and its wealth of benefits.

This initiative will provide students with tailored support to explore career opportunities in the maritime sector, which is a cornerstone of Plymouth’s economy and global reputation. From marine engineering to sustainable energy, the programme highlights the diverse and rewarding roles available within this field.

The initiative also focuses on improving diversity and inclusivity in the maritime industry, ensuring students from all backgrounds feel empowered to pursue their ambitions. For City College Plymouth students, this represents an opportunity to break barriers, gain real-world insights, and build networks with leading maritime organisations. The maritime sector is evolving rapidly, and this programme ensures our students are well-positioned to lead the way in innovation and sustainability. By participating, students will not only enhance their employability but also help shape the future of the maritime industry.

As a College that values excellence, inclusivity, and practical skills, we are delighted to support the Maritime Skills, Careers, and Diversity Programme. This initiative strengthens our ability to prepare students for meaningful careers while contributing to the prosperity of Plymouth and the wider South West region.
