Meyer Turku, the Finnish shipbuilding group, has teamed up with a project whereby sixth formers spend a day at a workplace, in this case the the shipyard, in various tasks.

Each teenager has had an opportunity to choose between the jobs of a welder-sheet metal worker, project manager, naval architect and purchasing manager.

During their visit to the shipyard, the pupils will perform tasks that have been assigned to them beforehand: a sheet metal worker will be interviewed by another teenager who spends at day at the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE).

Nina Marttila, HR manager at the shipyard, said in a statement that participation in the project is one of the ways how the company wants to participate in the life of the community around it, but also to introduce the shipbuilding industry to the teenagers as a potential career choice.
