V. has welcomed its largest cohort of graduates in the history of its international management programme, with 12 new members from nine different nationalities joining the company this month. Since the programme's launch 11 years ago, a total of 88 graduates have been recruited through the initiative. The programme has grown significantly in the past three years, expanding from its naval architecture roots within V.Ships to a group-wide program that now covers various functions across V.'s operations, including technical and crew management, procurement, insurance broking, digital services, and commercial activities.
This year's cohort represents a diverse mix of backgrounds, including naval architects, marine engineers, data scientists, economists, and business graduates, reflecting the evolving needs of the maritime industry in response to digitalization, AI, decarbonization efforts, crew shortages, and geopolitical complexities. The programme's success is evident in its high retention rate, with a strong conversion of graduates to permanent positions, and a commitment to ongoing development and training for alumni.
René Kofod-Olsen, CEO of V.Group, emphasized the importance of this programme in fostering critical thinking, curiosity, and innovation within the company, stating that the industry is undergoing significant changes and the decisions shaping V.'s future will be made by the graduates joining today.
