The Nautical Leadership Programme at UWC Atlantic is a funded programme created in partnership with Trinity House Maritime Charity.
As part of UWC Atlantic’s continued Seafront Development Campaign, the Nautical Leadership Experience (NLE) aims to offer young people with little to no seagoing experience the opportunity to develop skills that may be used in careers in the nautical and maritime industries.
The Nautical Leadership Experience is specifically for young people who do not have any of the listed qualifications, nor have had the opportunity to experience seagoing activities. All that is required is an open-minded mentality to try new things, a willingness to work collaboratively with peers and a discipline to commit to the full programme and embrace what the programme has to offer. As part of the Nautical Leadership Experience, participants will gain insightful knowledge, skills and new experiences, and can build confidence and leadership skills adaptable to any career.
