Overview

The innovative Internship component of a TMI degree programme, apart from serving as a training element, is a key factor for the effective placement of graduates. This initiative provides the opportunity for an in-depth evaluation of a student by a potential employer and a jump start to employer specific training. TMI's experience has been that almost all students are absorbed by the same companies that provided them with their internship opportunity.

A small number of marine engineering students preparing for careers as shipboard engineers intern with shore based organisations that have engineering facilities similar to onboard systems or that produce major engine room equipment for ships. While these same organisations have shown tremendous interest in recruiting their TMI interns after graduation, ship managers and ship owners greatly value the in depth knowledge gained by these interns and have recruited them for shipboard positions.

The success and efficacy of the Internship Programme is in no small measure due to the fact that TMI students are particularly well prepared to be effective workers during the internship period and that the learning process during internship is guided by a structured programme.

Over the years, more than 90% of TMI graduates have succesfully secured positions in reputed shipping companies before their graduation day. Recruiting companies recognise that TMI students have undergone an intense four-year curriculum that has converted bright students into qualified marine officers.

TMI graduates are able to add immense value to any organisation, having been trained to take on job responsibilities from the very first day. Our innovative Internship-cum-Placements programme puts our graduates a step ahead of the rest and we have found that most students are absorbed by the same companies that provided them with their internship opportunity.
