It was great to reconnect with more than 20 AMC alumni at Cargo Bar in Darling Harbour for our Sydney Alumni event.

AMC Principal Mal Wise welcomed the group and spoke about the importance of maintaining strong connections across the AMC community. He also shared an update on the Engineering our Future campaign and encouraged alumni to stay connected with AMC as their careers progress, including considering AMC Search when the organisations they work for need maritime training, consultancy or specialist capability support.

The diversity in the room was a strong reflection of the breadth of the AMC community, with alumni working across logistics, seafaring, naval architecture and other parts of the maritime sector.

A great evening of conversation, connection and renewed relationships, and a reminder of just how far the AMC network reaches.

Today is World Maritime Day, an opportunity to recognise the remarkable work undertaken across our industry every day to keep global trade moving, connect communities and support economic prosperity.

This year’s focus highlights several important priorities for the maritime sector:

• Effective Enforcement — helping bridge the gap between global shipping regulations and their practical application in everyday maritime operations.
• Capacity Building — strengthening maritime capability through technical assistance, training and knowledge-sharing.
• Sustainability Support — supporting progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including climate action, life below water and sustainable infrastructure.

At AMC Search, these priorities strongly reflect what we do.

Through training, consultancy, simulation, technical assistance and knowledge-sharing, we work with maritime organisations in Australia and internationally to strengthen workforce capability, improve operational performance and build the skills needed for the future.

Building maritime capacity isn’t just something we support, it’s central to our purpose.

If your organisation is looking to strengthen maritime capability, develop its workforce or solve an operational challenge, talk to AMC Search about how we can work together.

It was a pleasure to welcome the Trevallyn Sea Scout Group to the Australian Maritime College Survival Centre for an evening of team-building activities in the pool.

As part of our commitment to supporting the local community, AMC Search provided the group with cost-effective access to this outstanding facility.

Activities like these give young people the opportunity to build confidence, teamwork and practical water skills, while also introducing them to the Australian Maritime College and the many career pathways available across the maritime industry.

We hope the experience sparked plenty of curiosity about where a future in maritime could take them.

As part of the Engineering our Future Campaign, our MEH alumni recently volunteered at Brighton Secondary School in Adelaide during Thrive Week, taking part in the school’s careers expo and delivering a panel talk and a hands-on workshop for students exploring future study in Maritime Engineering.

A huge shout out to Angus Cheek, Chris Buchanan and Joseph Burke for taking time out over a couple of days to share their experience, career journeys and enthusiasm for maritime engineering.

This is exactly what Engineering our Future is about: connecting students with real people working in industry, showing them what is possible, and helping them see where a career in engineering can take them.

To our AMC alumni: your story matters. Whether you studied naval architecture or ocean engineering, you can play a role in encouraging students to consider a career in your industry and to study engineering at AMC.

We would love more alumni to get involved in future student engagement activities and help us build the next generation of maritime engineers.

Email [email protected] to find out how you can get involved.
