Maritime HeritageMaritime Futures

The Maritime Heritage, Maritime Futures initiative launched in September 2023. Devised and led by The Danny’s learning and participation team, and delivered over the course of an academic year, it bridges Merseyside’s rich maritime heritage with the region’s rapidly expanding future opportunities.

The Maritime Heritage, Maritime Futures programme introduces students to the wide array of career pathways within the maritime industry, exploring the transition to decarbonisation and the critical importance of innovation in achieving Net Zero goals. With a busy programme of shipyard and port visits, masterclasses, vessel visits, lectures, and engine room tours, students enrolled on the programme benefit from unique access to industry experts, insights, and behind-the-scenes experiences.

Designed to complement and enhance the curriculum of B-tech, T-Level, and foundation qualifications across disciplines from engineering, to business, to visitor economy, travel and tourism, to art and design, Maritime Heritage, Maritime Futures offers students a unique chance to engage with the pressing challenges and opportunities presented by the maritime sector's transition to Net Zero by 2050.

To date, students from Liverpool John Moores University, Hugh Baird College in Sefton, Riverside and Cronton Colleges in Halton, City of Liverpool College, North Liverpool Academy and Wirral Met College have benefitted from the programme. Maritime Heritage, Maritime Futures is delivered free of charge to the colleges and students who take part. So far, 276 students have participated in the programme.
