The key to a Cal Maritime education is the academy’s mission to develop leaders through a program directed at building technical knowledge, imparting the value of discipline, and developing the capability to make sound decisions. For these reasons, graduates from Cal Maritime are sought after for jobs both at sea and ashore.

San Francisco Marine Exchange
The Marine Exchange, a non-pro t trade association, often acts as facilitator and representative on maritime issues and, thus, we routinely interact with Cal Maritime graduates. They represent all facets of the industry and due to their education, experience and diversity they bring a wide-ranging perspective to critical issues and maritime challenges.

ON LAND, AT SEA, AND UP IN THE AIR... But grounded in the Cal Maritime education
The education and experience I received at Cal Maritime have equipped me with the ability to transition into various careers, from Fortune 500 companies,
to academia and now to air transportation. The theoretical knowledge, practical skills, strong work ethic and fortitude developed over the four years at school, are the “tools in my toolbox” that have made me more marketable and attractive as companies and professional executive rms identify strong candidates to lead their companies.

HIRED FOR OUR TALENT...
And then encouraged to forge our own path
I feel incredibly fortunate to be working
on a public-private partnership to launch an interconnected ferry service that will provide public transportation to previously underserved neighborhoods in New York City. The entire project will result in a resurgence of the use of the city’s water- ways. If not for the focused education I received at Cal Maritime in an industry I’m passionate about, I would not be here now, negotiating the contracts—and I’m just four years out of college!
