The programme is designed to provide understanding and experience in different broking markets, foster career growth, and develop future brokers who can effectively deliver Clarksons' full value to clients.

Year Two: Trainees who progress to the second year of the programme will be assigned to one of the broking divisions from the first year rotations, and may have the opportunity for an international secondment in one of Clarksons' global offices.

In 2024, shipping has had to rise to the challenge of increasing disruption and complexity

But navigating change and complexity is what we do best.
