Transnet Graduate Trainee Program for Young Graduates 2022

Young graduates who are highly motivated and extraordinary are welcome to apply to the Transnet Graduate Trainee Program in Marine Technology. The company’s workplace provides exceptional opportunities designed to draw motivated workers who are competent and capable of rising to even higher levels within the organization.

The multi-million rand full‑mission Ship Handling Simulator will be used by students during the various training courses. The Maritime School of Excellence satellite campus in Durban has this technology installed and it is employed to train Marine Pilots and Tug Masters, bringing them up to pace with the International Standards Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) criteria and honing their abilities with refresher training.

In addition, the MSoE has Terminal Operations Simulators, RTG Crane and Ship‑to‑Shore Container crane to give learners the real‑time ability to operate, manoeuvre and familiarise themselves with all terminal‑related equipment and machinery.

Additional simulators such as Reach Stacker, Counter Balance, Mobile Harbour Crane, Rail Mounted Gantry, Straddle Carrier and Truck handling Simulator will be available to add to the elite training provided by the Maritime School of Excellence.

The learning and employment opportunities that the MSoE will create for Transnet, the South African maritime industry, and the broader community align closely with the deliverables of the Market Demand Strategy.
