On Friday 8th March 2019 we had the opportunity to visit with some of our graduates an Ultramax vessel managed by Laskaridis Shipping Co Ltd, while loading at the TITAN factory in Elefsina.
The crew and Ms. Catherine Prifti, Safety Manager of the Company gave a tour of the vessel to the participants that had the chance to visit the bridge, the deck and the engine room and discuss the daily operation of the ship.
It was a very educational RTG event, the RTG Graduates were thrilled to participate and from our side we promised that we will repeat a visit on a vessel on the first chance we will get.
Real Time Graduates is a non-profit initiative that connects Graduates with the Greek Shipping Cluster. It originated from Laskaridis Shipping Co, however currently more than 50 companies are registered in the programme. It is the first free database with CVs specifically targeted for the Shipping Community with studies that include Marine Policy, Maritime Law, Marine Engineering and other.
Real Time Graduates is a hub made up of Ship Management Companies, Brokers, Chartering Desks, Classification Societies, Financial & Legal Institutions, Technical Offices and others, working within the Greek Shipping Sector. The scope of the programme is to connect young and talented graduates without work experience, with the maritime industry. Both the Graduates and the Companies benefit from joining Real Time Graduates as graduates join a community where they may find a traineeship position or a work placement and companies have the opportunity to gain access to a pool of qualified individuals all in one place. There is no fee for participating in Real Time Graduates neither for the Graduates nor for the Companies.
The current generation of shipping professionals has the option and the ability to be a part of the creation of the next generation of shipping colleagues.
