- About us
With the world economical crisis, it seems almost inevitable but to remain passive, yet with every crisis there is opportunity, and with every opportunity comes hard work. Our Academy was established in 2018 with one vision, one goal, one purpose to create job opportunities for the Lebanese Youth. We integrated the trinity between the corporate principles, the education standards and marine industry. And today in 2022, this trinity in practice is needed more than ever, to reinforce a generation of graduates able to embark the challenges of this era and maneuver the maritime industry. This major shift is required to sail in a blue ocean, and create a better future for these Lebanese youth serving their career development. A small message to our employees, to continue to serve our mission of preserving our talents and limiting immigration - from Lebanon to the world and back to Lebanon !
