THE Filipino Association for Mariners' Employment is looking into possible support from the government for the cadetship training of students who are taking a degree in marine transportation or marine engineering courses.Ericson Marquez, president of FAME , revealed in his speech during The Manila Times Maritime Forum, 'Shipping, logistics and crewing for nation building,' the pressing need for more cadetship training opportunities.

The current maritime education program scheme of '3-1' requires maritime students to undergo three years of academic studies and one year of shipboard training before graduation.With the lack of OBT slots from shipping companies, however, a good number of maritime students end up not graduating. Marquez urged the government to sponsor maritime students' OBT to alleviate this concern.He said sponsorships can be based on the merit of each cadet, with school top-notchers given priority.
