Job Description:

The State University of New York Maritime College is currently looking to employ temporary personnel for different positions for the various departments during this year's summer training aboard T.

There will be over 500 cadets onboard to account with approximately 20% in ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) and preparing for commissioning in the Armed Services following graduation and licensure.

The training days are geared to maximize the experience of the cadets and flexibility is a requirement regarding daily scheduling of duties.
