CAREER STORY LIBRARY OFF TO A GREAT START

I am really pleased to see that we have already received five Career story contributions to our new Marine Industry Career Story Library.

Thank you!

The stories so far have been interesting, some are inspiring and each is distinctive and different. It is especially good to see a range of career stories and I'd suggest that there could be lots more to come in the future.

The marine industry includes so many disciplines; designers, builders, manufacturers, technicians, sales and marketing people, electronics and electrical,even plumbing. The knowledge people need to have in this industry is broad ranging and challenging to say the least.

I do hope more people will contribute their stories in the coming weeks and I know there are lots of good ones to tell! For this reason, our "fill-in" form is still live and it will stay up online for the foreseeable future. We think it would be great to have 20 or more stories when we officially launch the online Marine Industry Career Story Library here at Boating Industry Canada News Week.

Consider sharing your story today. The form is right here.
