Retraining programme for career changers

Switch to the marine industry!

Our paid retraining programme is a safe way to find a new career in the marine industry. Meyer Turku’s own Shipbuilding School makes changing careers risk-free: training programme participants are always employed by Meyer Turku or our subsidiaries. The ship designer training programme constitutes the first six months of the employment relationship.

We are looking for people with basic training in engineering interested in marine engineering to design the most advanced cruise ships in the world at the Turku shipyard. No previous experience in the marine industry is required of the applicants. The ship designers will be employed by Meyer Turku or its subsidiaries.

You are the person we are looking for if

  • you have been trained in technology/engineering (technician, engineer, Master of Science in Engineering, designer, technical designer, academic studies in engineering, e.g. physicist)
  • you are passionate about developing your competence
  • you want to build a career in the marine industry.

The six-month training programme equips you for working as a marine engineer. The theory section of the programme is completed at Meyer Turku’s Shipbuilding School and the practical training takes place in the design department of the recruiting company.

We post about upcoming training programmes on this website.
