Here at Steamships Trading Company, we provide the right exposure and opportunities to assist your professional development.  In our program, you have four twelve-month rotations in any of the following industries: Logistics and Transport. Property and Hotels and Corporate HR, Finance, and Affairs. 

During each rotation, graduates are challenged to balance multiple projects and daily department taskings; with minimum supervision and time. Each rotation is also complemented with structured classroom sessions led by experienced trainers for soft skill development and depending on the systems your project might involve, we’ll also equip you with the right training for that too. 

You get to grasp your experience and build your legacy as you dream it to be You choose your own story. 

Help and Support.

You know that nervous feeling when you enter a room full of strangers for the first time and you’ve got to work with them – we know that feeling too. 

Our Graduate Development Program offers lots of support.  We have an online sharing platform set up specifically to connect you with our GDP alumni and other graduates who are still on the program. We also have quarterly Meet & Greet events so you can  link in person and meet other established young leaders outside of  the company and grow your professional network. 

Every rotation, you are also presented with opportunities to have direct one-on-one meetings and coaching from our senior top-level managers including the General Managers, Finance, and HR  Managers across the business. 

As long as you are in the Graduate Development Program, you will  be connected to us. If you have any questions throughout the program, our Corporate HR and Finance Departments will always be just a phone call away.
