The maritime industry is vital to global trade and plays a significant role in our economy, with an estimated 90% of world trade carried by sea. Within the UK, the sector supports over 1 million jobs, however women remain underrepresented in many parts of the industry, and in particular in STEM based roles.
To raise the profile of STEM based careers and inspire young females into STEM roles, there is a new set of videos launching in 2023.
QinetiQ has created the first video which gives an insight into the typical day of an Associate Naval Architect based at Haslar.
