Promising maritime careers
THE Portsmith marine precinct will come alive when The Australian International Marine Export Group (AIMEX) and Marine Jobs proudly present the Cairns Maritime Jobs Careers Expo 2024.
The free event showcases the expansive range of career opportunities within the maritime sector on Saturday, June 8 from 9am to 2pm at the Cairns Cruising Yacht Squadron.
AIMEX chief executive officer David Good said this year’s expo was enhanced by exclusive on-water experiences and industry tours, providing participants with an in-depth look at the maritime industry’s vibrant scope.
“Notable activities include tours provided by Shoreline and Mandingalbay Authentic Indigenous Tours which will embark from the Cairns Cruising Yacht Squadron marina and take attendees around Admiralty Island and into Trinity Inlet,” he said.
“In addition, international shipping company Svitzer will provide a unique chance for direct conversations with their engineers as tours above and below deck take place on a range of vessels.
“These experiences, along with industry tours offered by our location partners such as Norship, Austal, North Marine, Tropical Reef Shipyard and the TAFE Queensland – Great Barrier Reef International Marine College, aim to immerse participants in the real-world experiences of the maritime industry.
“We hope to inspire and educate the next generation of skilled maritime workers to support and grow the industry.”
Delivered by industry leaders and experts, the event will also feature focused panel discussions and presentations covering topics such as the tertiary level engineering roles required for the region’s future workforce, entry level positions and pathways, trade apprenticeships, women in maritime, defence industry pathways, superyacht opportunities, and the immediate employment needs for our tourism sector.”
An interactive jobs board will directly connect job seekers with vacancies, and highlight the variety of roles available within the industry.
