Episode 2: Is HMS Victory Trigger's broom?
This week Jess and Hannah discuss traineeships - a great way to get into the industry although there are things to consider. They're joined by fellow trainees and together they share their experiences. Jess and Hannah are also joined by the CEO of Seas Your Future, an organisation that focuses on training young people with multiple skills onboard their ship Pelican of London. Finally we hear the latest news from the industry.
*Please Note: Jess states the wrong date in the section talking about former SHTP1 Trainee, Gabriel - the correct date is 2021, not 2001 (My bad! - Jess)
