The call, carried out as part of the initiatives to promote employability, has given the city’s residents the opportunity to live a unique experience on board.
The city of Santa Marta celebrates the success of the job call that has led to the selection of 45 Samarian citizens to join the staff of the renowned cruise line Msc Cruise. This achievement is the result of management focused on promoting employability and providing unique opportunities to local residents.
The call, announced through the official networks of the district administration in October, attracted 225 applicants from Santa Marta. After a rigorous selection process, which included the pre-selection of 105 people and interviews with 63 candidates, finally, 45 Samarios managed to overcome the filters and secure a place on the Msc Cruise team.
Luis Miguel Rico, one of those selected, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and highlighted that this initiative is a stimulus for young people and other sectors of the population to believe in the possibility of accessing different job opportunities.
