Jobs in the Aquaculture/Seafood/Commercial Fishing/Marine Industries
have been declining over the past five years, but GO Virginia Region 6 has a
high concentration of employment in this industry. This industry is prime for
growth in Region 6, especially in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula as
well as GO Virginia Region 5’s Eastern Shore. This project will continue to
promote jobs in the aquaculture industry cluster by expanding high school
students' understanding of what jobs are available in the aquaculture
industry cluster, expanding educational opportunities that meet employers’
needs, and supporting internship opportunities that help young people gain
experience and awareness.
The updated Promoting Careers in Aquaculture 2.0 program’s multi-prong
approach will create positive career and growth opportunities for students,
teachers and participating industry partners. The 2023 pilot project was proven
successful, and there is interest and demand from localities including industry and
students to continue the program.
For students, provided access to a series of online aquaculture learning modules,
a one-week educational and experiential summer experience, and
a four week summer internship with a local aquaculture business. The
initiative will target high school juniors. These educational opportunities will
inform and prepare students for different jobs in the shellfish aquaculture
industry. Upon successful competition of the program students will receive a
cash stipend and digital badge/credential.
For local employers, the project team will foster local industry partnerships with
the goal of developing successful internship opportunities for the students.
Training will be provided to industry partners to make the internships a win-win
experience.
Through this initiative, students will develop connections with potential
future employers in the aquaculture industry in Region 6. While job creation
will not be immediate, these students will be exposed to opportunities
within the region to either get a job right after high school or return to the
region after receiving higher education.
DETAILED PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The project team is currently seeking additional support from local
business owners, industry leaders, local community colleges and K12 school systems interested in contributing time and resources in
support of the program.
