An international logistics firm-Maersk, in partnership with the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), has launched a comprehensive 12-month maritime training programme aimed at developing the country's maritime sector and the Blue Economy.
The inaugural Cadet Training Programme is poised to strengthen the country's position in the global maritime sector by providing valuable career opportunities for the youth.
The programme is designed to close the skills gap and certifications in the maritime sector by offering intensive training, mentorship, and practical exposure to Maersk vessels.
The ten selected cadets will be provided with crucial sea-time training that will enhance their competency and enable them to compete for international maritime jobs.
