As Liaison Officer with NAFC Marine Centre, I have responsibility for student support and maintain strong links with schools, fisheries industry and local businesses.  In my role I co-ordinate training for local fisheries industries - both Skillseekers and mature students - and have management responsibility for Shetland Fisheries Training Association (SFTA), a Company Limited by Guarantee.

I contribute to the UHI Defining Student Support Group, Local  Vocational Pathways, Transition Groups, Training Forum, Careers Convention working group and represent the NAFC Marine Centre on the North Forum, liaising with Aspire North to reach objectives.  During the summer months I am actively involved in promoting, co-ordinating and hosting nursery, pre-school and primary school visits to the "Seas Around Us" area within the Centre.
