Stolt Sea Farm (SSF) has helped create a new two-year aquaculture cultivation training programme at the IES Marqués de Sargadelos institute in San Cibrao, near its farm in Cervo, Spain.
The vocational programme will help develop a new generation of Galician aquaculturists, which is not only important for SSF in fulfilling its growth plans but also for the future of the sustainable aquaculture industry.
Through paid scholarships, students will be able to train in workplaces – including at SSF’s facilities – during the academic year. In the first year (2024-2025), they will spend half of their studies in the workplace, and 75% in the second year. This will help them develop practical knowledge in a field with a promising future in Galicia and obtain vocational training accreditation.
The IES Marqués de Sargadelos is offering 22 places and will open the pre-registration period at the end of June 2024.
SSF’s involvement in the programme reaffirms its commitment to respect and have a positive impact on its local communities through education and collaboration. It is looking forward to welcoming the first group of students to its farms and to supporting the development of the sustainable aquaculture sector to ensure that future generations continue to enjoy wonderful seafood.
