This is a story of a shipping student who graduated and couldn't find a job in a shipping company so she searched for any type of job. This is also the story about a shipping student who needed to get job experience via an internship in order to get a real job but there were neither available in Greece. This is a story about thousands of graduates that are working for nothing in order to gain work experience so they can get a real paying job subsequently and hopefully sooner than later. Only the world financial crisis has hit Greece real hard and so young lives are frozen. So, project connect aims to help out by encouraging everyone to help out by enlisting the current brain bank existing in Greece’s shipping industry today - operations or technical or chartering or accounting or administration -- all who have experience can take on just one person a year and all will have gained shipping business experience to help out when the time comes and the current brain bank retires.
So the shipping student who graduated and knocked on our door, was welcomed with a professional interview, placed in one of our client’s growing company’s and now 5 years later, she is a professional middle manager in operations department of a foreign company here in Vouliagmeni. The many other students who asked for an internship - got one too!
We love to see smiles of relief and joy instead of pouts of disappointment. If you feel the same way, help us inspire more to do same. Help us by encouraging a shipping company to use our Internship Plan & Guide to train an intern and more. Thank you for reading our story. Sponsor an intern for 3 months or sponsor a workshop to prepare the next generation to learn to work by merit and their bosses to recognize their work with reward and appreciation.
