MSC Training Academy, India

CREATING CAREERS AND OPPORTUNITIES : MSC Shipmanagement recruits approximately 500 cadets from various countries, mainly India, Ukraine and Russia, and actively promotes shipping as a career avenue in other countries such as Cyprus, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Some cadets are recruited from these regions too. Our support ranges from investing in independent maritime training institutes by means of equipment for training, to contributing to the development of training programmes relevant for the future growth of maritime profession-als. MSC supports these institutes by making subject matter experts available, delivering lectures on key topics, providing regular interaction with sponsored cadets, invit-ing them on board our ships for practical experience, and later supporting them with further education and certification. The success of this investment in cadet train-ing is evident in the Masters and Chief Engineers now

employed by MSC, as well as the recruitment of onshore staff across various MSC offices as Superintendents or Planners, Port Captains in crewing offices, and in management positions in global MSC offices. This form of capacity building also creates competencies that will be of value outside the Company, with a positive ancil-lary impact on local economies too.

MSC Shipmanagement has been consistently investing in and supporting the training of cadets and taking care of their welfare. In recent years MSC has further strengthened this relation-ship by setting up the MSC Training Academy, a joint venture with IMI to train crew for their cruise line vessels, thereby furthering maritime careers and creat-ing opportunities for future generations.
