With 25 years in business, our brand organically attracts candidates to apply to our database; word of mouth from our happy clients and candidates is a big part of our talent attraction strategy.

We partner with critical schools and training institutions to promote the diverse range of positions we recruit for among their alum students and educate them to prepare for market trends and demands – they can always apply with us in the future!

​

In addition, we offer a variety of online practical workshops through Cast-A-Way Academy. Our courses are optional, and candidates may choose to take them if they want to enhance their resume and knowledge.



Our team has developed courses specifically to prepare the candidates for SHIP LIFE reality. It is fast-paced, with very little time for on-the-job onboard training. Candidates are expected to be "ready" to deliver a first-class international hospitality experience to the guests once they get onboard.

​

​All candidates that choose to take our courses receive a Cast-A-Way Academy Certificate. We are proud of our "first-class hospitality academy" that helps our candidates be successful in their career development onboard.
