Employees were very eager to attend the training on topics such as email 101, how to handle difficult conversations and how to see diversity as an asset.
Aside from the office staff training sessions, workers in the Gulf Craft shipyards were also trained in Gulf Craft's 5S program, safety and fire drill exercises and how to perform first aid in case of emergencies.
