EDUCATION DAY: AN ‘EXTRAORDINARY’ OPPORTUNITY FOR MARITIME STUDENTS Meet Professor Doctor Thomas Pawlik, Dean of Studies, Center of Maritime Studies at the Hochschule Bremen (Bremen University of Applied Sciences). Dr. Pawlik leads one of the groups who will participate in the Breakbulk Europe Education Day. Education Day brings students and faculty from around the region to spend some time in practical learning, experiences and networking. Here Dr. Pawlik shares his perspective on Breakbulk Education Day in Bremen. Our institution has two focused maritime degree programs, the one is Ship Management which is Nautical Studies and the other is Shipping and Chartering. Students have seminars related to heavy lift and project cargo so they have a basic theoretical understanding. With the presentations and case studies at Breakbulk Europe, they will benefit from this very practical approach. I also think having the chance to listen to so many experts from the industry in one place is a very exclusive opportunity for both students and faculty. Students can learn a lot from these highly experienced industry professionals and from the real case study examples. It’s also a unique chance to network at the exhibition – this is
not only true for the students but also for my colleagues. These contacts can be very helpful from the professional view of the students for their career after graduation and for us to build common approaches. We strongly recommend Breakbulk Europe Education Day for our students with a maritime logistics background. They should attend this unique event to complement their studies. This is also an opportunity for interested students with an economic background to look into the breakbulk business. So everyone who is into breakbulk should attend this really extraordinary Education Day to network with the industry and make some new contacts.

Dual Vocational Training is the backbone of the qualification system for skilled workers in Germany for hundreds of years. In Bremen with its reputation as a major player in the field of logistics, the member companies of the Bremen Chamber of Commerce - CCI for Bremen and Bremerhaven constantly provide about 1.000 vocational trainings in the field of transport and logistics, e.g. “Freight forwarding and logistics services clerk” or “Shipping and chartering manager”. These staterecognized vocational trainings usually have a duration of three years both in companies and professional schools with a final state examination at the Bremen Chamber of Commerce. With this background, it is easy to understand that education in the field of transport and logistics is a major interest of the Bremen Chamber of Commerce and its member companies. We definitely support the Breakbulk Europe 2018 Education Day!
