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. Interested students can check out the MHS counseling Canvas page or see Ms. Baltrusaitis in the counseling office. https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/103/LCPS/3911150/Aqua_2.0_Overview_Students_FINAL.pdf
