Discover what technical and maritime careers are really like

What you imagine these professions to be is often very different from reality.

How to join the Academy

Through Academy formats
We meet some participants through direct interactions during the Career Insight Day and other Academy formats.

What we mainly look for is interest, engagement and a willingness to engage with real working environments.
Application
You can actively apply to join the Academy.

The selection process is based on typical professional job interviews while also helping you understand what companies actually look for during recruitment.

Dialogue plays a central role throughout the process.
