Young Maritime and Renewables ambassador programme

Young Maritime and Renewables ambassador programme

21/01/2026

This inspiring new STEM initiative has been designed for all young people aged 16–19, not just those already focused on marine or renewable energy careers.

The programme welcomes curiosity in all forms, whether they’re passionate and informed or just starting to explore their career options. The goal is to spark conversations, build awareness, and give young people across the Humber region the tools and confidence to engage with the sectors that will shape their future.

The Ambassadors Programme has been developed to raise awareness of the significant opportunities across the Humber and wider region in maritime, renewables and the associated supply chains. It is designed to support young people’s understanding of local career pathways and future skills needs, while strengthening links between education and industry.

 

Humber Marine & Renewables are engaging with all secondary, independent and higher education institutions, alongside industry partners, local authorities and careers hubs. The initiative is already receiving strong interest from each organisation involved, andthey are beginning to receive enquiries ahead of the main programme launch in 2026.

 

The project will be supported by significant media and PR activity, with endorsement from industry and full backing from local authority careers hubs, ensuring strong visibility and long-term momentum.

 

By supporting this initiative, schools can help build meaningful local impact, while also laying the foundations for future engagement projects and access to additional resources for schools and colleges across the region in the coming years.

 

Phase 1 of this initiative has already started but there is still plenty of time to submit entries.
