Investing in our people
AET’s commitment to training is taken extremely seriously at all levels within the company.
Mindful of the global shortage of qualified seafarers, AET has invested heavily in training sea staff through the cadet academy of our parent company, MISC, in Malaysia. At any one time there are around 600 AET cadets undergoing various stages of their training, either at the academy or onboard one of our ships. 150 cadets join the programme each year on a fully sponsored basis, including a growing number of women.
All ship’s officers return to the academy throughout their careers with AET for continued training and career advancement.
Ashore, there is consistent training for staff irrespective of their position within the company. This investment helps us to achieve our potential and helps colleagues to achieve a higher level of job satisfaction.
