Consider a career at sea with a CalMac Modern Apprenticeship
09.03.2022 - 13:27 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Young people who are keen on a seagoing career are being encouraged to apply for the CalMac Modern Apprenticeship Programme.
CalMac is a recognised leader of seagoing apprenticeships, and the Merchant Navy Training Board named it as one of the top five UK companies for maritime apprentice schemes. A total of 120 young people have trained through the scheme since it was set up in 2013.
Applications for the 2022 intake opened this week during Modern Apprenticeship Week, and a social media campaign highlighting all aspects of the programme will run across all online channels including TikTok and Instagram.
The scheme is designed to help young people who are passionate about the maritime sector gain essential qualifications and the experience necessary for a successful career within the sector, and most importantly with CalMac.
There are three options within the programme – Engine Deck Rating, Retail and Catering, and Deck Rating. All apprentices will train and study at the City of Glasgow College on courses of between 12 and 16 months.
Last year, the apprentices who successfully completed the programme all transitioned into permanent roles as Seaman 1b’s, the Engine Rating Trainees into permanent roles as Motormen, and the Retail Rating Trainees into permanent roles as Senior Catering Ratings. They are currently based on vessels across the network and are from places including the Isle of Lewis, Eriskay, Campbeltown, Greenock, Mull, Taynuilt, Coll and Benbecula.
Donald MacKillop, Retail Development manager for CalMac, has been involved in the modern apprenticeship scheme since its inception.
