At James Fisher Offshore, we take pride in our apprenticeship programme’s role in empowering young people to reach their full potential and kick-start their professional journeys.

Apprenticeships are vital in nurturing the next generation of talent, offering hands-on experience and invaluable skills development within our industry. 

We are highlighting just some of the inspiring stories from our apprentices, showcasing their growth, challenges, and successes.

Apprenticeship event

Reflecting on a landmark Apprentice Day at the JFD Global National Hyperbaric Centre in Aberdeen, we celebrated Scottish Apprenticeship Week by bringing together apprentices from across our diverse product lines for the first time.   

The NHC team facilitated a memorable mix of introductions, tours, team exercises, and diving insights. It was a day of new connections and shared learning, marking the growth of our Early Careers Network aimed at fostering support and collaboration among our apprentices. 

We're inspired by the unity and potential displayed, highlighting the collective spirit of our apprentices as we move forward together. Here's to the future of our Scottish Apprentices! 

Case studies

As we celebrated Scottish Apprenticeship Week, we showcased the exceptional apprentices who are steering their careers to new heights.  

Congratulations to Aedan, Ashton, Owen, Stevie, Kai, Caitlin and Bruce—seven ambitious individuals whose paths through apprenticeships are forging the future of our industry in Scotland. Each story is a testament to the power of hands-on learning and the broad horizons that apprenticeships open up. 

From engineering marvels to administrative excellence, these apprentices are not just building their careers; they're contributing significantly to our diverse capabilities and reinforcing our industry leadership. 

We're incredibly proud of what they've achieved and the vibrant future they represent for our company and the sector. Join us in celebrating their journey and the innovative spirit they bring to our team. 

During my time at James Fisher, I have gained so much knowledge and experience, and I’ve enjoyed every part of learning new things and meeting new people. Opportunities like this don’t come about often, and I feel like this move will be so beneficial for me and my career.
