Campaign: | To encourage young people to pursue a career in the fishing industry |
My Fixers project is to get more school leavers to consider a career in the fishing industry.
You can make a really good career fishing all around the British coast line and there’s a demand for younger crew.
The older crew all around the country are now getting into their fifties and sixties and they want to take a step back but there’s not the push of youngsters getting in to the game which is such a shame.
Everywhere in the world people are crying out for fishermen.
I feel that schools should be putting more time and effort in to showing young people there’s lots of different parts of the industry you can get into.
