German Ship Repair Jamaica and CMU Sign MOU

• German Ship Repair Jamaica (GSRJ) hopes to be in a position to use fewer overseas workers, with the partnership forged between the organization and the Caribbean Maritime University (CMU).
• According to a release from CMU, through the partnership, there will be an opening for disenfranchised students in Jamaica and youth from places with little to no possibilities to enroll in apprenticeship programs and get into a space driven by excellence.
• CEO of GSRJ Colonel Martin Rickman expressed optimism that the programme could also help train several at-risk youths.
• CMU President Professor Andrew Spencer said this represents the formalisation of an existing partnership between the two entities. Overall, this partnership is expected to provide employment opportunities for locals as well as training and development for individuals interested in that field.
