A career at sea opens many doors; the potential for career growth is immense. Moreover, success also depends on specialised training that will help the right can- didate develop a raft of practical and technical skills. MaritimeMT has built on the experi- ence of its Master Mariners to provide a portfolio of courses that can service the needs of the Maltese maritime sector and the industry in general. Its new holistic curriculum is being de- veloped with the needs of employers in mind. On the other hand, it also works to understand the needs of those already in employment: people who wish to further and better their career pros- pect, as well as entrants to the indus- try who need mentoring. These new entrants need to muster an understanding of the wide spec- trum of jobs available. MaritimeMT assists them in choosing their career path. In terms of seafaring, there are three main operational departments on board ships: the deck department, staffed by navigating officers; the en- gineering department, staffed by ma- rine engineering, and marine electro- technical officers. Added to this is the catering or hotel department, which handles all the ca- tering and domestic services. However, the maritime sector ex- pands into further clusters. These in- clude specialised trades and/or skills, such as nautical architecture, offshore skilled jobs on vessels servicing the oil and gas sector, the evergrowing wind- farm and solar farm sectors, fishing and aquaculture, biomarine technol- ogy and the pharmaceutical industry, legal services, logistics, the military and much more. Shoreside careers are just as impor- tant for the continuous development and sustainability of the industry as those on board ships. The maritime career spectrum is very diversified and there isn't a 'one size fits all' solution. The nature of the operations and services of a ves- sel will determine certain aspects of a person's seafaring professional devel- opment. MaritimeMT can assist with your career development. We offer the ob- ligatory and ancillary STCW certified courses leading to certificates in mari- time safety, medical, fire fighting, nav- igation and radio communications, petrochemical tanker certifications, as well as courses covering interiors and hospitatlity certification, which are highly sought after in the lucrative superyacht sector. MaritimeMT also offers courses that follow the Commercial Vessels Regu- lations of Malta (CVR). These are a set of regulations that govern the commercial operations of vessels within the 12NM territory of Malta. Applications are currently open for enrolment to the next intake of par- ticipants of the MATE/MASTER Combined Certification. In the com- ing weeks MaritimeMT will also be launching the rest of the CVR Certi- fication Courses, including general purpose hands, boatman, boatmaster and engine driver. From captains and bosuns to engi- neers, chefs, stewards, artists, hair- dressers and beauty therapists: there are thousands of job opportunities, either at sea or shoreside, for people with the right skills and attributes.
