The Canaveral Port Authority hosted a behind-the-scenes tour for its Junior Ambassadors, an immersive career development training program for Brevard High school students that promotes career opportunities and workforce development in the Port District community.

Seventeen students across nine schools enjoyed a up-close look at the Port’s diverse operations, including Blue Origin's Jacklyn landing platform at North Cargo Berth 8, Brevard County Sheriff's Office, Florida (Official)'s K9 unit, Canaveral Fire Rescue City/Port's Fireboat 2 and commercial fishing operators Wild Ocean Seafood Market and Seafood Atlantic, as well as lunch at Fishlips Waterfront Bar & Grill in The Cove.

Students gained valuable insight into these organizations and their vital role in our region’s maritime operations. Many thanks to Blue Origin, Canaveral Fire Rescue, Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, Wild Ocean, Seafood Atlantic and Fishlips for their support of this important program!
