Last week the BIA partnered with the Industry School to deliver an information evening for young people looking to join the Marine Industry Academy.

The Academy was developed specifically for high school students interested in a career in the boating and marine industries. Young people in Years 10 to 12 are able to continue their schooling with the Industry School and start their school-based apprenticeship or traineeship with some of the best employers the Southern Hemisphere has got to offer.

BIA CEO Andrew Fielding, Maria Hobbs Marine Jobs program manager, along with colleagues from initiative supporters Chapman Yachting, Maritimo and Riviera, shared their career stories and looked to the future of industry with thoughts on growth and opportunities for young people.
