Leading global marine energy solutions provider KPI OceanConnect launches “get fueled”, a new two-year global trainee program – to foster and inspire the next generation of marine fuel traders.
As part of its commitment to enhancing innovation and inclusivity, KPI OceanConnect has recognized the need to provide an attractive career pathway for young people who are eager to contribute to the global energy transition and drive sustainability in one of the world’s most exciting industries.
The program will provide new hires with an immersive learning experience, including comprehensive training in marine fuel trading, supply and logistics, and the opportunity to work with industry-leading experts.
