Giving students a glimpse of a maritime future

Yesterday, we participated in ‘Maritime Career Day’ as a member of Maritime Network Frederikshavn. Along with 20+ other local companies, we welcomed over 500 9th and 10th-grade students to give them a firsthand look behind the scenes in the maritime industry and show them the exciting career opportunities it offers.

During the day, the students engaged in company visits and participated in an educational race highlighting our industry’s dynamic and varied opportunities. They met apprentices, trainees, and young role models—all from the seats of bikes that were provided for the young students during the day 

For many, this may have been their first introduction to an industry that could lead them into the world of Blue Denmark. Maritime Career Day is more than just an event; it’s an opportunity to inspire the next generation by showing them how diverse the maritime industry is and emphasizing the vital role vocational education plays in the maritime food chain.

At Orskov Yard, we’re committed to developing skilled labor right here in Northern Jutland, ensuring that our industry thrives locally and beyond in a region with a proud maritime heritage and a bright future.

– Maritime Career Day is a great way of ensuring that the maritime industry remains a cornerstone of local employment and growth, empowering young people to build careers in their own backyard. By participating in this event, we’re doing our part to ensure that young people see the value of vocational education, particularly in the maritime sector, says our Director, Christina Ørskov.
