Our services to employers

Employers have identified insufficient employability skills and young people lacking awareness of career opportunities in the marine sector.  Alongside a lack of any meaningful work-experience and a poor work ethic.

 

In response, CMA challenged and supported marine employers to engage in providing solutions to the issue of preparing young people for their future marine careers.

 

CMA has now gained an excellent track record of delivering industry-led programmes.  These include careers advice, taster sessions, employability skills and work placements at marine businesses’ premises.  Industry recognised vocational qualifications, 1:1 mentoring and group-work and training embedded into the school curriculum.
