Monday, 16 Jun 2008 12:25
The Merchant Navy Training Board (MNTB) has appointed a full-time Careers Co-ordinator, David Scales.
David Scales joins the MNTB with a broad range of careers experience, having provided careers advice and guidance across the whole range of career options to individuals, client groups including unemployed adults in the voluntary sector, undergraduates/graduates, students in further education and young people.
He will be coordinating the MNTB’s careers activity which has grown considerably over the last few years as a result of the introduction of new foundation degree programmes.
A major part of his work will be attending careers events across the country along with a programme of secondary school, FE/HE Colleges and Careers Service/Connexions visits, promoting opportunities within the merchant navy, both onboard and ashore in ship management and the wider shipping and maritime sectors.
