Request a Maritime Ambassador visit
As part of Maritime UK Week, we are encouraging schools and colleges to request maritime careers ambassadors to either visit in person or engage remotely to talk to pupils and students about maritime careers and the range of opportunities available within the sector.
Our industry expert maritime ambassadors are keen to share their career pathway and experiences of working in the maritime sector with your pupils or students as a guest speaker or in support of your careers events. We can support tutor or assembly sessions, or subject specific classroom activity.
To request a visit in person or a remote video call from a Maritime Careers ambassador, please complete the form below.
