Today, Canada\u2019s Ocean Supercluster (OSC) has launched its official teaser to its national ocean
careers campaign, called On the Job. The six-part awareness campaign, which will be promoted
across social media and a variety of digital platforms, aims to provide youth ages 18-30 with an
inside look at the kinds of roles for workers with a variety of skillsets and experiences across the
ocean sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cAs the ocean economy is set to outpace the growth of the broader ocean economy globally,
Canada has the opportunity to lead and realize significant growth through Ambition 2035 \u2013 a 5X
growth potential in Canada\u2019s sustainable ocean economy,\u201d said Kendra MacDonald, CEO of
Canada\u2019s Ocean Supercluster. \u201cThis will not be possible without a well-skilled, diverse
workforce that is ready to take on the jobs of our current and future ocean economy in
Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

MacDonald says access to talent is critical to the kind of transformational growth that is
possible in ocean in Canada, citing many Canadian companies operating in the ocean economy
struggle to find the talent they need to support growing market demands and an increased
customer base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Drawing on his inquisitive nature and dynamic style of engagement, the OSC teamed up with
renowned innovation speaker, author and strategist, Shawn Kanungo to host the awareness
campaign. Kanungo spent a day taking on assigned in-demand jobs across six different
organizations in Canada\u2019s ocean sector including Virtual Marine, Sensor Technology, Marine
Thinking, Cascadia Seaweed, Katal Energy, and Clearwater.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u00ab\u00a0After travelling around the country meeting with ocean tech entrepreneurs, it’s undeniable
this space is ready to explode,\u201d said Shawn Kanungo. \u201cThe next billion-dollar companies will be
built in the ocean industry. We don’t just need bodies, we need people that are hungry to build,
lead and create a dent in the universe in a variety of roles.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The On the Job national awareness campaign will be on the market for at least a 12 month
period. The teaser can be viewed here: OSC Presents – On The Job with Shawn Kanungo<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
