IMTC Special Services: Cadets and Trainee Engineers

For any quality organization believing in the value of human resource, having a dedicated pool of seafarers is a must. It all starts with the selection of the right people and grooming them into fine seafarers. IMTC has been involved in the selection, orientation, monitoring of training ashore and at sea, and mentoring of Deck Cadets and Trainee Engineers for companies like Barber Ship Management and Bergesen Dy and have, in the process, developed considerable know-how in this activity. 

The salient features of the activity are: 

Selection of cadets and trainee engineers which involves:

• Advertisement in the leading newspapers.
• Vetting of applications on the basis of statutory and company requirements.
• Issuing call letters to short listed candidates.
• Conducting written examination.
• Conducting interviews with the candidates by a panel including representatives from our client companies.
• Medical fitness and psychometric tests. 

Orientation:

• Briefings prior to the candidate going for pre-sea training to an institute approved by the client company.
• A detailed and comprehensive "Orientation Course" after the Pre-Sea training.
