Crossworld’s ETO Training Program Reaches New Highs

Crossworld’s ETO Training Program is once again providing to be a valuable crewing tool to cover ETO positions on the long run.

Manila, Philippines – A total of 61 electricians are currently being trained by Crossworld as part of its Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) Cadet Program. The program focuses on converting land-based electricians to much-needed sea-based electricians.

“We’re delighted to having to grow this training pool on behalf of our principals as this is the suitable program to secure their future needs while still securing some valuable benefits. But best of all, it’s also for happy seafarers who have a steadily growing career,” says Simos Varias, CEO of Crossworld Marine Services Inc.
