Department of Marine Catering and Hotel Management organized an Alumni Interaction for the first time (for 39 students) on 17.10.2022. Mr. Vino Christwin C, an alumni of the department, presently working as general steward, Fleet Shipping Management, Mumbai. He created awareness among the students about the “Hospitality Job Opportunities in Merchant Shipping”. He spoke of how a career in shipping is perfect for individuals who are fascinated by the sea, love travelling to foreign ports and want to experience different cultures. International trade and commerce rely heavily on shipping and maritime transport. Almost 90% of trade is done through sea routes, which increases the need for professionals in this area. After completing your degree, you can join government or private shipping companies or various port agencies in India or abroad. The shipping industry is one of the best sectors to build your career in. Marine catering students can also join the merchant ship as general stewards and learn about the duties and responsibilities of a general steward, the importance of hygiene, safety measures, the selection process, and the documents required for joining the shipping company. This program boosted the confidence of the students.
