In partnership with Sviluppo Lavoro Italia and local Job Centres, the initiative starts in Palermo before moving to other port cities including Catania, Trapani, Bari, Taranto, Naples, Trieste, Ravenna, and Genoa.
The recruitment drive seeks candidates for various maritime positions. These include IT personnel, office staff, hospitality workers, chefs, electricians, and engineering officers. Candidates without maritime experience will be considered for positions, with the company providing support for necessary qualifications and training.
