The cadetship selection activity took place at Cristal-E College in Bohol on February 3, 2026, involving a total of 23 cadets from the deck and engine programs. The activity aimed to evaluate the preparedness of aspiring cadets for future onboard training through a structured screening process.
The program began with an orientation followed by computer-based assessments using APRO and CES platforms, designed to measure technical competence and psychological aptitude. Senior deck and engine officers, along with DSC personnel, conducted the technical and psychological interviews to assess professional readiness and suitability for shipboard duties.
The successful implementation of the selection activity reflected effective coordination between the academic institution and maritime industry representatives. The orderly schedule and standardized evaluation process underscored a shared commitment to developing qualified and well-prepared future seafarers.
