BTW I have no connections with the subject establishment, apart from we (Forum – Sub-Atlantic) provide some equipment to them for training purposes.
Read it in Oceanbuzz and just thought it was an interesting statistic that might be worth sharing.
See below ……..
1.j) HALF OF ROV CLASS FIND EMPLOYMENT WITHIN A WEEK OF COMPLETING TRAINING
A leading subsea training centre has reported an increase in employment of their students, with 50% of one class being employed within a week of graduating. The Underwater Centre, Fort William, saw half of a recent ROV class employed by leading providers of subsea services to the oil and gas industry, DOF Subsea, following the company’s attendance at an open day at the Centre.
A DOF Subsea representative attended the open day at The Underwater Centre to see the results of significant investment and was impressed with the training and facilities, which has since led to the employment of the students. The four ex-students have been taken on as Trainee ROV Pilot Technicians, working as the third man in teams of three operating across the Atlantic Region.
Due to the success and demand of the open day the centre will be holding another one this spring. For more information about the next open day email Olivia@theunderwatercentre.co.uk
