Junior Port Ambassador Program

DEADLINE TO APPLY EXTENDED TO SUNDAY AUGUST 25, 2019

We are excited to share a new opportunity at Port Canaveral for students. Applications are now available for the Junior Port Ambassador Program for the 2019-2020 upcoming school year. Our mission is: to share and involve the youth of the Canaveral Port Authority Special District in the activities at Port Canaveral, providing youth job opportunity education, workforce development, and community outreach. We hope you will help us identify a student at your school that would be a good fit and also encourage them to apply.   
 
Students will meet with leaders at Port Canaveral in the areas of: maritime, hospitality, environment, engineering/construction, and recreation, to name just a few. The leaders in these industries will share with the students what they do at the port, what skills or certifications are needed, what salaries are the norm, etc.  
 
Each application will require the signature of the student’s principal or guidance counselor to approve the student missing 4 specific school days through the course of the 2019-2020 school year.
