Seafood and maritime expo

Overview

A seafood/maritime careers expo for pupils featuring individual presentations from businesses, followed by a more traditional careers fair.

Results and effectiveness

Pupils heard from each business about career paths within their organisation, apprenticeship programmes and continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities.

They were also able to speak directly with employers during the careers fair section of the event.

Additional benefits

Parents and carers were invited to attend the event too. This encouraged conversations between employers and the young people during the interactive element of the expo.

The Scottish Maritime Academy team were able to share information about training opportunities across both commercial fishing and the merchant navy.
