She is a qualified careers adviser and a passionate advocate for helping people reach their potential through successful and satisfying careers. As the Programme Manager (Careers and Outreach) she has responsibility for leading the careers activity of Maritime UK, working with employers and educators to promote the many exciting opportunities in the sector. She is the driving forward the programme of activity and supporting resources in a collaborative and coordinated way sharing best practice from around the regions. Lorna is based at Solent LEP in Portsmouth. Sixteen months into the role Lorna has developed the national careers programme and published the strategic plan. We have established a careers professionals’ network with over 380 members (nationwide) and an Industry Ambassadors network of over 120 maritime people, who have delivered maritime careers information to over 16,000 children! The programme is gaining momentum and support from the sector, and a good level of interest form educators with outreach work happening in primary, secondary, FE and Universities. This would not be possible without the active participation from Industry professionals, and her presentation will focus on the breadth of the sector, the different strands of the careers programme, as well as how maritime industry can get involved in the programme.
