As they always say, a seafaring career is always a family decision and families make an integral contribution towards facilitating the success of their loved ones in pursuit of their seafaring aspirations.

On 18 January, some 40 Cadets and family members attended a family engagement session organised by Wavelink Maritime Institute (WMI) for candidates who wish to pursue seafaring careers under the Tripartite Nautical Training Award (TNTA) and Tripartite Engineering Training Award (TETA) programme.

The session was an opportunity for family members to understand the nature of the seafaring job, the career opportunities available across the maritime industry and the support made available to their loved ones who would be undertaking their TNTA & TETA study at WMI.
