Description

Blue Business Academy aims to increase the relationship between the Sines Port Community entities at the management and leadership level, training top leaders and senior technicians through bootcamps, coaching sessions, online training in new technologies, thematic training sessions with experts in the field of management and leadership. It is aimed at port companies with businesses within the scope of blue growth and its main objective is the competitiveness of the blue economy through job training for the development of business and management skills, preparing companies in the Port Community for sustainable growth. With the implementation of this training plan, it is intended to train 5 companies (1 large company and 4 SMEs), with the participation of 28 professionals in training and reach the target of 90% participation of employees of companies that declared better capabilities / skills in your professional field. In Portugal, associated with this dynamic of services and intermodality, the Port of Sines has been developing a set of simplification, electronic dispatch, security and supervision tools that ensure the rapid flow of goods between the various means of transport within all safety and environmental standards. One of the most visible consequences of this technological revolution, and which is already beginning to be felt in ports, is the speed at which information circulates and the ease with which the different parties involved in port operations keep in touch.

The current context is, therefore, favorable for continued growth in this sector. However, on-the-job training to develop business and management skills in the port community is crucial. With the current pace and evolution and level of demand in the port areas, ongoing training is essential for professionals and companies to be more agile in their response and continue to be at the forefront.
