WE ARE AN INDUSTRY LEADER
The Ocean Corp is an undisputed leader in the advancement of Commercial Diving and Non-Destructive career training. Our unmatched record of achievements, advancements and industry firsts speaks for itself.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW, HOW YOU NEED TO KNOW IT
At Ocean Corp we don’t bloat our program with needless general ed. courses,; no filler material just to charge more. Our program is specifically designed to give you the essential information you need to go out and gain employment in the commercial diving or nondestructive testing fields in as little time as possible. Our program takes just 30 weeks to accomplish.
CAREER PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE FOR ALL STUDENTS & GRADUATES
Our Student Services and Career Placement Department work personally with every student to ensure their transition from student life to working life goes as seamlessly as possible. Our staff works with students and graduates to develop skills essential to career success such as resume writing and how to “Ace your Interview”. We work with you on researching companies and job searching. Additionally, twice a year, Ocean Corp opens our campus to graduates/alumni, students and employers for an event we call the “Meet & Eat.” Enjoy a BBQ lunch while also networking and take advantage of the opportunity to meet and mingle with some of the same folks who might hire you! Sharing a meal together is a great way to break the ice; just make sure your resume is BBQ sauce free!
The other cool thing that happens that day is the Program Advisory Board Meeting. This is where our PAC (Program Advisory Committee), comprised of industry professionals, sits with the big wigs at Ocean Corp to review our curriculum and equipment to ensure we are teaching you what they want you to know! Who are these PAC members? Many of them are members of management at their dive or NDT companies and many of them are also Ocean Corp Alumni!
