UK training boost
Clyde Marine Training (CMT), together with the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) has announced a partnership to support the Initial Professional Development of all CMT’s cadets.
The partnership will see all cadets on a CMT course enrolled as Student Members (SIMarEST) of the IMarEST throughout their studying period.
Cadets will be supported with their Initial Professional Development and put them on the path to obtaining additional professional qualifications. They will also gain access to the IMarEST’s online virtual library, obtain the monthly membership magazine, have access to a careers forum, attend events and join a growing branch network.
Colin McMurray, Managing Director of CMT commented; “This is a really important initiative for us and further demonstrates our commitment in providing the training in preparing cadets for the Merchant Navy. Investing in the next generation of sea-farers is a high priority, and by supporting the Initial Professional Development of all of our cadets enables them to further progress their professional qualifications once they continue their careers.”
Founded in 1986, CMT says it has grown to be the largest maritime training provider in the UK recruiting approximately 50% of the annual Trainee Officer intake for the British Merchant Navy.
