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.
