CCP has been integral to supporting our company's talent recruitment and management plan… it is now more effective for us to develop an on-the-job training blueprint, as well as expand our search for talents from other industries.
Equatorial Marine Fuel Management Pte Ltd
CCP has lowered the barrier to entry for mid-career individuals and allowed us to tap into a diverse talent pool. The new hire's background brought innovative safety protocols and a robust understanding of regulatory compliance, enhancing our operational standards.

CCP provided good support to Pelagus 3D, and thanks to the facilitation of SSA, the process was kept simple and smooth. Digital solutions are an area we focus on, and the support for PMETs in the CCP suits us very well.
