Why not consider a career at sea #CareerAtSea
Today, on June 25, shipping industry celebrates the Day of the Seafarer. IMO has launched a new campaign to celebrate the unsung heroes of shipping across the globe. This year’s theme, A Career At Sea, aims to help address the predicted shortage of seafarers in the future by promoting and highlighting the positive benefits of choosing a career at sea.
In particular, the campaign focuses on encouraging young people to consider seafaring and other maritime professions when making choices concerning their careers or their further education.
The campaign shows that seafaring is a viable, attractive and exciting career option. IMO invites all aspiring and current seafarers, organizations, ship-owners, Governments, port-authorities and general supporters, across the world, to share their stories about life at sea and to be ambassadors for their own industry.
