ADVANCING HUMAN POTENTIAL
Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
Our goal is to give employees the resources they need to succeed both personally and professionally, as well as to foster a collaborative work environment where every employee feels a sense of belonging.
We are committed to creating an environment in which differences are celebrated and encouraged. We believe a workplace with employees of various backgrounds and unique experiences catalyzes innovation, growth, strong performance and long-term value. At Ocean Teachnolgy Engineer, diversity is who we are, inclusion is how we work, and belonging is how we thrive.
To advance diversity in our workforce, we have expanded partnerships, training, recruiting and mentoring programs. For example, we partner with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to create educational and career opportunities for students, ranging from scholarships to internships. We also actively recruit veterans and members of the military who are completing their service.
