The Ethiopian Cadet Association (ECA) is a digital platform built for Ethiopian maritime cadets and officers. Between international contracts, our members typically spend 3 to 6 months at home — idle, unpaid, and disconnected from work that uses their training. ECA closes that gap.
We connect cadets and officers with local Ethiopian companies for short-term, skilled work during the between-contract period — turning months of idle time into income, experience, and continued professional growth, while giving Ethiopian businesses access to internationally trained, highly disciplined talent.
