What is the feedback you hear from them? Why is it that they are choosing a career at sea?

Lisa OliverGUEST
The majority of them that are choosing to enter the industry have got some sort of connection to the industry a lot of the time, whether that is because they live in coastal regions from a UK-based perspective or whether they've got a relative that works in the industry.

Lisa OliverGUEST
There's normally a little bit of a connection as to why they've chosen a career at sea in the first place.

Lisa OliverGUEST
Wanting to actually succeed, wanting to get to the end of what is, from a college perspective, a qualification which is going to set them up for life sometimes.

Lisa OliverGUEST
Even if they don't follow it through into a fully-fledged 25-year career at sea, they still see the benefit and the relative benefit in actually gaining an educational qualification that these cadetship programmes offer.

Lisa OliverGUEST
So all those tied together from a CV point of view for these young adults is then beneficial whether they choose to stay at sea or not.
