BELTRAIDE, in partnership with the Belize Coast Guard and the Belize Port Authority, has launched the Boat Captain Training Program yesterday, March 24, 2025, in Placencia!
This program is designed for individuals seeking to advance their careers, and unlock new opportunities in the maritime industry. Over the next month, 21 participants will undergo hands on training in essential maritime skills, including knot tying, splicing, slipping and docking, towing, anchoring, mooring, and more.
Funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and Compete Caribbean, this initiative plays a key role in fostering sustainable practices within Belize’s blue economy. It also highlights the importance of gender inclusivity, empowering women in the maritime sector and inspiring women to pursue careers in this dynamic field.
