YEP MED Talent: Selected graduates to complete a final course in sustainable maritime operations
Teams are at the heart of organisational life and their effectiveness strongly influences the success of the port-logistics community overall. This is why the YEP MED project team is organising a special edition of the YEP MED Talent course.
Successful graduates from the YEP MED courses were invited to apply for this one-of-a-kind training last month. Once their applications were received, the project team selected 5 members from each of the 8 port communities represented in the project to attend the in-person collaborative training course. It will combine theoretical classes, practical visits and workshops with collaborative work in teams. After the training, interviews and behavioral tests will take place to obtain individualised professional assessments for each student.
The course itself aims to:
- To train the participants in organizational aspects of international trade, as well as coordination of intermodal & sustainable transport chains.
- To enable students to get to know some of the Port-Logistics Communities in the Mediterranean, its infrastructure, logistics equipment and operations first-hand.
- To provide participants with the entrepreneurship and innovation skills and attitudes needed to thrive in the sector.
- To provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to quantify the environmental impact of transport operations, while familiarising them with the European Union's policy on sustainable logistics in Europe.
- To obtain a professional and quality assessment by which students will be able to shape better their skills and their expectations towards a career in Logistics. Experts in recruiting will evaluate and orientate the students to their best options.
- To put at the disposal of the companies in the Port-Logistics Communities of the Mediterranean the CV of the candidates and their assessment reports, so companies can have a better perspective when contracting new candidates.
