Metstrade Student Day: Your first step into the marine industry. For students aged 16+

<div>
<p>You've already chosen a maritime education. But where will it take you? Commercial shipping, offshore, or the world of yachts, superyachts and leisure boating? In this interactive session, you set the agenda and tell the industry what it takes to win you over. What attracts you to an industry today? Why might leisure boating feel less obvious, or less relevant, as a career path? Where do you look for information about jobs and employers? And what do you expect from a future employer when it comes to growth, development and workplace culture? Then it's your turn to choose: a company visit, job-shadowing, mentoring, a live project or an internship introduction. Which would help you most in taking the next step? Your answers will help companies open their doors in ways that actually work for you. Bring your opinions, your questions and your ambitions.</p>

Your course, your call: What would make you choose leisure boating?

<p>Meri Kajaia is Marketing Programme Manager for World Boating Day, coordinated by The Superyacht Life Foundation. <br />She is the main point of contact for companies and organisations looking to register and host events, helping unite shipyards, marinas and destinations worldwide in the annual celebration of life on the water.</p>

<div>Raymond Dijkstra is a Structural Engineer at Van Oossanen Naval Architects. He began designing ships during a period when time was the one thing he had in abundance. The result was the <em>Super Skou</em>, a training vessel for skûtsje crews, developed with the support of Van Oossanen Naval Architects and TU Delft. Raymond proves that determination can change the course.</div>
