Coming Ashore: The Podcast

"The Coming Ashore programme's goal is to identify and address additional skills and experience seafarers needed when coming ashore and then providing a pathway to ensure they are suitably equipped. We have a number of industry professionals signed up as mentors, together with partner organisations who are providing a series of podcasts that explain the range of roles shoreside. The programme is open to all ranks and nationality." Marine Society Director, Darrell Bate
