TURTLE’s Global Cadet Program

Shipping companies worldwide are facing a growing officer shortage, making it harder to build strong, qualified crews. That makes investing in cadets today even more important — because they are the officers of tomorrow.

But sourcing the right cadets isn’t easy—limited talent pools, lack of visibility, and inefficient recruitment processes slow things down. That’s where TURTLE makes the difference:

🔹Global access to talent - Promote diversity, expand beyond traditional markets and improve your gender split. Whether you choose from our extensive pool or partner with us and maritime universities for a tailored program
🔹 Ethical & Responsible Recruitment – Ensuring the safety of cadets with TURTLE, following the “Employer Pays” principle (TURTLE is featured in IHRB's Responsible Recruitment Register)
🔹 Full Control & Transparency – Take charge of the entire recruitment journey, identify the perfect cadets, and strengthen their loyalty to your brand
🔹 Tech-Driven Efficiency – Seamlessly connect cadets, schools, and companies for faster, smarter recruitment

Several leading shipping companies are already working with TURTLE to support their future officer pipeline.
