VTI Zeebrugge becomes first ‘port school’

The real start is actually only next school year, but recently the VTI of Zeebrugge has been working closely with port companies, the APZI and VOKA interest groups, for new training courses tailored to port companies.

It is also often necessary to find suitable employees in the port, and that search is becoming increasingly difficult. With targeted training, specifically about port-related training, they want to make young people enthusiastic about a job in the port. Thanks to these training courses, they also enter the labor market with the right profile. (continue reading below the photo)

There will be 3 new dual courses: ‘polyvalent port vehicle technician’, ‘renewable energy technician’ and ‘internal transport driver’, says Joke Knockaert, director of the VTI Zeebrugge. players worked out. Here too, it has been decided to build in a solid workplace learning component from the start. For the coming years, further consideration is already being given to additional training courses on international trade, port economics and defence/welfare.
