High technology, challenging and diverse careers with excellent employment prospects in “sustainable use of the seas”.

Use of the sea, for transport, leisure, energy, research and fishing increases every year. Over 90% of international trade is carried one hundred thousand ocean-going ships, from massive bulk cargo ships to the smallest sea-canal barges. There is continuous development ships to improve performance and economy, and to meet demand. Luxury passenger vessels, such as Queen Mary 2 and high-speed ferries are examples.

Automotive apprentices can earn more than recent university graduates. The 2005 national average earnings show that a graduate service technician in an advanced apprentices programme earned £19,000.
