Meeting with apprentice engineer onboard ATB Corpus Christi; recruiting for third TECH Program class begins

STAR Center Director of Training Phil Shullo and Engineering Instructor Andrew Davis visited the U.S. Shipping Corp. ATB Corpus Christi during a call at Port Everglades, Fla. to talk with Apprentice Engineer Cameron Siele about his experience in the TECH Program to date. Both Siele and the officers on the Corpus Christi said the program is working as intended, providing the training and hands-on experience needed to advance motivated high school graduates with mechanical aptitude to qualify to test for a U.S. Coast Guard unlimited third assistant engineer's license, Shullo reported. In this photo taken by Davis are First Assistant Engineer Michael Fahey, Siele, Captain Bob Corbett and Chief Engineer Brian Kelly. The second installment of the TECH Program begins August 11 and recruiting has commenced for the third TECH Program class, slated to begin in early 2015. Program details and instructions for applying are available on the STAR Center website.
