We exist to remove the barriers and boundaries to thriving maritime careers
For almost 40 years we have been delivering lifechanging experiences, education and training programmes to thousands of students. Our team of experts, mentors, and educators provide training, welfare, and mentoring of the highest standards, helping young people to reach their true potential.
Our pathway provides early inspiration taster programmes for school children, career training for those looking to secure their first role and continued professional development for seafarers wanting to progress their career.
As a leading sailing charity, UKSA aims to remove both financial and social barriers to enable students from any background to access our programmes by providing funding for those who need it.
The maritime industry depends on a highly skilled, diverse and dynamic workforce, and we work to ensure our students achieve their best, have lifechanging experiences, and gain the qualifications to progress in to fulfilling and lasting careers in the maritime industry.
