National Careers Week - 2025
Earlier this year, we celebrated National Careers Week, focusing on the exciting career opportunities in the Solent region through our local businesses. Key events included:
Peter Symonds Futures Day: Over 1,500 young people attended.
Bitterne Park School Event: We engaged with over 1,000 young people and staff aged 11 to 18.
Cantell Futures Fair, over 300 young, people, parents and carer
The primary outcomes of these events were:
Increased Awareness of career opportunities within MTCP businesses
Bridging the skills gap
Enhanced education-MTCP partnerships
These initiatives provide invaluable exposure to potential career paths and highlight the exciting future of the industry.
During careers week, we also agreed that in May, we will provide Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions and the latest insights into maritime and transport career pathways for the careers team at Southampton University.
