The Antigua Barbuda Yachting and Marina Association (ABYMA) is set to host the highly anticipated Discover Yachting and Marine Industry Expo on October 8th and 9th at the Antigua Yacht Club and Marina. This two-day event, running from 9 AM to 6 PM, aims to inspire school leavers, tertiary education students, and adults to explore the diverse career opportunities within the marine industry. Over 20 businesses will showcase the wide array of roles available, from woodworking and electrical work to administration and marketing, emphasizing that these careers can be pursued locally without the need to leave Antigua and Barbuda. President Franklin Braithwaite highlighted the event’s mission to debunk the misconception that marine industry jobs require relocation, stating, ‘Many roles require valuable skills that are essential for the industry to thrive, and they can be pursued right here at home.’ Attendees will have the opportunity to receive personalized advice from industry professionals, network with exhibitors, and access a list of seasonal job openings. The Expo, which is free to enter, will also feature an official opening ceremony at 10 AM on Wednesday, with bars and restaurants open to create a welcoming atmosphere for visitors. Schools and individuals are encouraged to attend and discover the potential of the yachting and marine industry in Antigua and Barbuda.
