Careers within the global maritime industry offer a wealth of opportunity and provides mariners with the education, training and experience for a lifetime of rewarding challenges, whether at sea or ashore later on.
Many new entrants to the maritime industry initially decide to follow training programmes for seagoing positions, gaining experience of onboard operations and achieving their professional certification as Deck (Navigation) Officers, Marine Engineering Officers and Marine Electro-Technical Officers (METOs).
Career progression depends upon individual aspirations and circumstances. The subsequent achievement of higher level professional seafaring qualifications can either provide pathways into long term careers at sea as Captain (Master), Chief Engineer and Chief METO, or alternatively a significant number of opportunities to pursue maritime careers ashore.
In addition, some ferry companies and cruise lines occasionally recruit Hotel Trainees, who have hotel working experience and either hold or are undertaking suitable hospitality qualifications, to follow an appropriate onboard development programme before working in a passenger ship’s Hotel department.
