UKSA has reported an 85 percent increase in the number of women undertaking its Superyacht Cadetship from 2022 to 2023.
The Isle of Wight based charity, which provides life-enhancing water-based adventures, education, and world-leading maritime training, has seen an increase in the number of women from 10.8 percent to 20 percent from 2022-23.
Available to those aged 18-25, and still accepting applicants for its September 2023 intake, the structured four-year programme is designed to train the future officer of the superyacht industry.
James Potipher, cadetship manager at UKSA, said:
“Women often feel this kind of opportunity is not accessible to them, so it’s really positive to see a shift towards greater diversification and we hope the numbers continue to grow in roles traditionally male dominated.
“This course is a fantastic alternative to university and uniquely, students earn while they learn so they can pay off their course fees while they’re working and training in the industry.
"Not only is the course all-inclusive of food and accommodation during the training phases, there are also grants and funding available to make the course available to as many young people as possible.”
As a charity, UKSA has funding opportunities available for students who would otherwise struggle and can help with assisted funding towards the Superyacht Cadetship programme.
