#NationalApprenticeshipWeek gets under way today, and aims to bring together employers and apprentices from across England.
Sea Cadets gives you the skills and confidence to follow the career you choose, whether that's via an apprenticeship, university, the Navy, or something else. 90% of Sea Cadets said that the organisation has offered “direction and guidance”, helping them go onto a brighter future.
On Thursday 2 March, Sea Cadets signed for a second Rustler 42 Yacht at the Rustler ship yard in Falmouth.
Mr Robert Woods CBE, MSSC trustee, is pictured shaking hands with Director of Rustler Yachts Ltd, Adrian Jones, completing the purchase. Cdre Peter Fish CBE RN Rtd, President of Falmouth and Penryn Unit, brought a collection of cadets from the local unit to inspect the build of the first Rustler yacht, T.S. City of London (also pictured).
The new yachts are bigger than the old Tradewind 35s, sleeping six cadets, meaning the charity can help more cadets get to sea and experience an offshore voyage.
Sea Cadets are delighted to deliver the 300th RS Quest to Westerham Unit. Phase two of the programme will begin to roll out in summer this year and will continue distributing the Quests and RYA Instructor Training course to volunteers and older cadets - meaning that more RS Quests will be available in 2017 with instructors on hand to teach courses.
All units with qualified sailing instructors now have either have RS Quests or access to them via an Sea Cadets boat station.
