Dear Students, Maritime is a
vital industry at the nexus of world trade and the global supply chain,
transporting over 80% of international trade. It sustains our daily lives and
helps countries prosper. At the heart of this industry’s growth is a skilled
talent pool. In this regard,
the Singapore
Maritime Foundation (SMF) has been strengthening the
maritime workforce by joining hands with industry partners
to drive the MaritimeONE Scholarship Programme. Introduced in
2007, the programme identifies and nurtures promising tertiary students with
a desire to pursue a career in maritime. Students across all disciplines and
from any year of study are welcome to apply. This year, we saw
a record 60 MaritimeONE
Scholarships totalling S$1.8 million awarded to
recipients from both maritime and non-maritime related disciplines such as
engineering, computer science, data science and artificial intelligence,
business and law. You might be
wondering if maritime is indeed the right sector for you to embark on your career.
Let’s hear from one of NTU’s MaritimeONE scholars,
Li Tz Yuan, as he shares more about his maritime
journey.
As I began taking on more
responsibilities, such as spearheading marketing campaigns and strategies for
vessel and port machinery, I gained a strong sense of fulfilment in driving this
essential sector. My growing passion to contribute to the maritime industry’s
growth eventually led me to return to the company as a business mentor to
impart key learnings to my juniors. Aside from applying
for the MaritimeONE scholarship, try participating
in the following SMF initiatives to gain a head start in the industry: 1. Create your account and submit
your CV to the MaritimeONE Career Portal,
a one-stop resource to apply for your ideal role and gain visibility amongst
prospective employers.
2. Join the MaritimeONE Internship
Programme
to gain valuable industry exposure and work experience. First-year maritime
studies undergraduate, Phoebe Lee, shares more about her
internship experience
over the summer break.
