Fishing Crews Today and Tomorrow

  • Room C 1 Parliament Street London, England, SW1 United Kingdom (map)

This APPG event will be hosted online via Zoom, and in-person at 1 Parliament Street, London.

Labour availability for UK fishing crews is facing challenges, in the form of an ageing workforce, low recruitment, and sometimes limited potential for career progression. Efforts to address this problem include through improving education and exposure, building in opportunities for career development, and encouraging less traditional demographics. There are projects underway and opportunities to explore to build a more diverse and resilient workforce, and improve welfare, recruitment, and job security.

This event will discuss current and possible future workforce demographics in the fishing industry. We will hear from a range of speakers exploring recruitment, education, and transferable skills in the industry. Presentations will be followed by opportunities to ask questions and engage with speakers.

Please note that in-person places are very limited. Please only sign up for an in-person ticket if you can definitely attend.
