Higher education
Sometimes, the way into a career in shipbuilding is to study for a degree or similar qualification at college or university. In fact the industry is suffering from a shortage of graduate engineers - and it's not the only sector with that shortage. With an engineering degree under your belt you'll join a company at a higher level and could advance more rapidly if you're successful in securing a position.
