City of Glasgow College – Merchant Navy Open Day
Saturday 21 April 09.30 to 15.45
The City of Glasgow College will be hosting an Open Day for the Merchant Navy at their Riverside Campus in Thistle Street G5 9XB. The aim is to give young people an insight into what a career in the maritime industry has to offer and the training programmes necessary to qualify as a ship’s navigation or engineer officer in the merchant navy.
Many of the major British shipping companies and recruitment & training representatives who recruit cadets and crew will be there to give information about the career opportunities they offer.
You’ll be able to talk to officer cadets, who’ll be happy to share their first-hand experience of the training and life as a cadet, both at the City of Glasgow College and on board ship.
A number of the college training facilities are open and students are welcome to tour the campus and nearby accommodation. The college’s working engine room will be running all day, giving you a first-hand experience of a working engine room. There are also bridge simulators – giving you the chance to experience piloting your own ship.
The website and poster give more information regarding the event, and college staff are looking forward to seeing you on the day.
