Transmarine’s Continued Support of Aspiring Shipping Agents on Display at 2024 Spring Career Fair, Women in Leadership Conference
Transmarine Navigation Corporation—a leading U.S. tramp ship agency with offices in a dozen port cities along the Gulf Coast, West Coast, and Hawaii—recently participated in Cal Maritime Academy’s 2024 Spring Career Fair and Women in Leadership Conference as part of its continued support of young people aspiring for a future in the marine shipping industry.
The Spring Career fair took place on February 27, followed by the Women in Leadership Conference on March 15-16. Both events were held on Cal Maritime’s scenic waterfront campus in Vallejo, California.
“It’s wonderful to take an active part in these annual Cal Maritime events,” said Transmarine Managing Director Leslie Clements. “We’re grateful for the wonderful opportunity to share our first-hand knowledge of marine shipping careers with so many aspiring young people, and we will continue to support Cal Maritime in any way we can to ensure the future success of our industry.”
At the Career Fair, Clements, along with colleague Sarah Rodriguez, educated students about the types of jobs Transmarine offers, accepted resumes, and shared their experiences of career paths in the shipping industry. The two also administered mock job interviews to help students gain valuable experience.
The Women in Leadership Conference, of which Transmarine was a Silver-level sponsor, featured discussions of internship opportunities, mock-interviews, and in-class presentations specific to the goals of cadets and professional women in the maritime industry.
Transmarine recruits heavily from Cal Maritime, and currently more than half of Transmarine’s staff are Cal Maritime alumni.
