PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
The Shipping Education Series evolved out of a need identified by the maritime community to provide a quality educational program that would be specific to the Columbia Rier Basin with a focus on the Columbia, Willamette and Snake River systems. The key goal of this program is to focus on filling the gaps by providing useful maritime information and sharing industry resources. Since 2015, we have meticulously expanded the program to meet the interests of maritime professionals in our region. After six years, over 300 students have attended at least one course in the Shipping Education Series. We look forward to continued growth in the educational platforms that we offer our members and the maritime community.
PROGRAM PLAN
Currently, each course is offered as four weekly two‑hour virtual meetings. Previously, each course was a one‑day session. After COVID restrictions are removed, we will offer a hybrid option with thee sessions virtual and one session in-person followed by a networking luncheon to meet the presenters and attendees. All sessions are presented by leading professionals in the maritime industry. The series has four installments which focus on various aspects of our industry. Students do not necessarily need to take the classes in order or complete the entire series.
CONTINUED GROWTH
Professional development is a lifelong process. Whether participants want to learn more about a specific subject or increase their general understanding, continuing education can be a positive career builder. We bring in the best of the best in the industry to share their knowledge. There are opportunities for maritime experts to be part of the program, building presentation skills and becoming recognized as an industry leader. There is no doubt that continuing education benefits employers and employees in many ways. Whether it is to improve proficiency or increase employee promotion options, continuing education has many benefits.
