They are trainees in an eight-week program at the University of Montana's School of Business Administration, eating in the university's cafeterias and sleeping in dormitories in Turner Hall.

In the future, they'll work for various port authorities in their respective countries or for the training's sponsor, APM Terminals, which operates more than 50 facilities in 31 countries.
