Enhanced Marine Engineering Pre-Cadets embarked on a fantastic journey during their visit to the prestigious Warsash Maritime School Open Day.
Aspiring mariners embarked on an action-packed two-day visit to Southampton, gaining firsthand experience of the maritime industry. Their journey began on Friday with immersive sessions in the Maritime Simulation Centre, where they got a taste of life at sea through advanced simulations.
On the second day of their visit, Pre-Cadets were welcomed by Matthew Stewart, the School’s Deputy Director. They attended talks on the life of a maritime officer, were able to explore the world-class facilities on campus and had the opportunity to connect with sponsoring shipping companies.
Tim Berry, Maritime Lecturer for the Faculty of Engineering & Computing commented: “A fabulous opportunity for our Marine Engineering Pre-Cadets to explore career options in the Maritime Industry. Rubbing shoulders with shipping companies, recruitment agencies and sea going cadets, the ultramodern training facilities showcased by Warsash Maritime School left us excited about the voyage ahead.”
A heartfelt thank you to the Port of Milford Haven for sponsoring the maritime uniforms, and to the Reardon Nautical Trust for sponsoring the enrichment education, which includes a suite of RYA professional courses.
