We’re spreading the word about careers in maritime.
72% of skilled trade workers are over the age of 45. Workers are aging, and when they retire, they will take a vast institutional knowledge with them. There aren’t enough prospects to step into those roles. The maritime industry is competing for the next generation of skilled labor.
