We are proud to welcome a new batch of students to the “BAFF” Foundation for 2026. Every intake is a reminder that the Foundation exists in the first place to create real opportunities, build real skills and to support long term pathways of young people into the blue economy.
Two training paths, one shared ambition
The Buildind A Future Foundation currently runs two NAITA-certified main trainings, both designed to prepare students for professional environments. The first program is the Multiskilled track, built as a broad foundation for students who want to develop operational skills that translate into real jobs, including roles in hospitality maintenance, general upkeep, and marine related environments.
The second program is focused on boatbuilding and technical pathways, aimed at students who want to build deeper expertise in hands on marine construction skills and workshop environments.
Across both tracks, the objective stays the same: take motivated students and turn that motivation into competence, confidence, and professional readiness.
Part of a wider ecosystem
The BAFF Foundation is closely linked to the Sea Leisure Yachting Group. That connection matters because it anchors training in reality. Students are not learning in isolation. They are learning within an ecosystem where standards, deadlines, teamwork, and quality are part of daily work. This is how it becomes more than learning but an exposure to real professional expectations and to the mindset required to succeed in marine and hospitality industries.
Learning alongside experienced teams
The Foundation is located in the same environment as SeaTek and HAVN which allows daily contact between trainees and experienced professionals. Maybe the most powerfull part of the training for both our students and HAVN workforce.
Indeed, for the SeaTek and HAVN teams, it is not only about production. It is also about passing on know how and building the next generation of capable workers while getting meaningfull insights from the new generation. also, Year after year, some trainees continue their path within SeaTek and HAVN, while others often grow into roles across other parts of the SLYG ecosystem. That continuity is one of the strongest signals that the model works.
Looking ahead
To the new 2026 intake, welcome. You are joining a Foundation that believes in long term progress, in skills that translate into careers, and in an ecosystem that can open doors when discipline meets opportunity.
We look forward to seeing your growth, your confidence, and your results over the coming months.
