Fantastic!
This was the frequent expression uttered by William Hung, Teekay Executive Vice President, Strategic Development, when he visited SJIT Maritime Education and Training (SMET) campus last Wednesday, February 20 together with Tony Armstrong, Vice President — Technical and Projects, and Alex Verchez Managing Director Teekay Philippines.
The said visit aimed to check the updates of the school and progress of Teekay FLP cadets.
William Hung joined Teekay in 1995 as an intern and become an Executive Vice President in 2016. Tony Armstrong facilitated in building more or less 20 vessels since joining teekay.
At the end of their tour, they sit in with the Teekay Foundation scholars and had a Q and A session that lasted for almost two hours.
During the session, the cadets and the visitors brought out positive atmosphere which lasted to the end of the session and discussed a lot of topics regarding the company.
According to the scholars, they were very comfortable talking with these people even though they have the highest ranks in the company. “We did not hesitate to ask a lot of questions because the visitors were so approachable,” said Deck Cadet Joshua Racho, one of the said scholars.
