Alumni Testimonials

VELS helped me molding myself as a seaworthy marine engineer, but what I will always cherish the most is the accessibility and willingness of faculty to connect and help secure many of the opportunities I received. It also helped me to secure a job in one of the leading shipping company when the whole shipping industry was suffering through recession. It is hard to say where I would be today without VELS.
