Scotland has a big future in maritime, and we need a new generation of people to help us build it.
That’s where this toolkit comes in! It’s been created to help young people learn more about the exciting world of maritime: the jobs, the technology, the travel, and the future opportunities waiting to be discovered.
Whether you’re picking your subjects, thinking about your next steps, or starting to explore your interests, this guide is here to show you what’s possible. From captaining a ferry to programming underwater robots, there’s something for everyone in the maritime sector.
This toolkit is packed with real-life stories, facts, challenges and ideas to help you imagine your future.
And if you’re a teacher, it’s full of classroom-ready materials that support lessons and conversations about careers, the economy and more.
