The Next Generation Network is designed to support early career professionals and open new pathways to work in marine construction by offering mentorship, networking, guidance on career development, and training opportunities, in line with feedback from our Members.
The network supports the industry to raise awareness of offshore careers and strengthen development pathways for junior workers in the marine construction sector, as research shows awareness among young people is low.
lt provides a forum for early-career professionals to develop their careers, connect with peers and industry leaders, and shape the future of the sector through innovation and collaboration, with activities structured around three core pillars:
Inspire – raising awareness of offshore careers among students, educators, and early-career professionals.
Connect – building a global peer community through events, digital forums, and engagement with IMCA committees.
Develop – providing mentoring, technical insight sessions, and access to IMCA’s competence and training resources.
