Careers at Sea Ambassadors are perfectly placed to give a first-hand account of life in the Merchant Navy.
There are volunteers based all over the UK, happy to discuss the shipping industry and life at sea to all age groups, providing lively, inspiring presentations – making them ideal for career days. Ambassadors can explain the various entry routes into a maritime career and the education and training courses available. Careers at Sea Ambassadors range from officer trainee cadets, apprentices, newly qualified officers through to ship captains, chief engineers and shore-based professionals.
A visit from an ambassador can be requested by contacting enquiry@careersatsea.org.
Looking to volunteer
