Meyer Turku’s Shipbuilding School has a long-standing tradition. Specialised in shipbuilding and training professionals for the industry, the school is one of the few company-maintained industrial schools remaining in Finland.
Since 1962, the Shipbuilding School has provided recruitment training for approximately 15,000 employees in Turku, initially at its premises along the Aurajoki river and subsequently at the Turku shipyard. Countless shipyard employees and representatives from maritime industry network companies have also participated in the Shipbuilding School’s professional upskilling and further education programmes.
The Shipbuilding School provides training for a significant part of new employees starting at the Meyer Turku shipyard.
The school provides recruitment training for administrative roles and production employees, offers conversion and supplementary training and collaborates with educational institutions and the maritime industry network.
