Blue Futures Pathways

Blue Futures Pathways, led by the Students on Ice Foundation, connects youth across Canada with education, employment, and funding opportunities to inspire and support them in developing successful careers in the Sustainable Blue Economy. Special emphasis is being placed on engaging under-represented youth with a view to diversifying Canada’s ocean and water sectors.

The Blue Futures Pathways program features several key free offerings:

• An internship and mentorship program for youth 18-30 years old that include professional development training, and funding opportunities;
• Six interactive, online learning modules in English and French for youth 14-30 years old that are accessible at any time;
• Ten videos in English and French highlighting science career pathways, equipped with an inquiry guide for educators;
• A job board where employers can post jobs directly; and,
• A monthly newsletter highlighting opportunities, resources and talent in Canada’s Sustainable Blue Economy.
