There is a big demand for competent Electrotechnical Officers (ETO) in the industry who can ensure the smooth operation and maintenance of electrical systems and installations as the use of advanced electronics and technology continues to grow.
A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S, one of the largest container shipping companies, revived its ETO Cadet Program through its local partner, Maersk Filipinas Crewing Inc., and it took significant steps to collaborate with United Marine Training Center (UMTC) to train and produce adept ETOs and assign them onboard.
UMTC selected several ETO applicants based on the qualifications and requirements set by Maersk Filipinas Crewing Inc. After the two providers' rigorous selection process, the chosen trainees are currently undergoing UMTC 's ETO Cadet Program, an extensive four-month training program.
The program follows the MARINA Training Guidelines and includes additional in-house training conducted by UMTC.
This partnership between A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S, Maersk Filipinas Crewing Inc., and UMTC highlights the importance of ensuring that Electrotechnical Officers are well-trained and equipped with the skills and knowledge to handle the industry's innovative demands.
