Event Description
WRONG LINK!
SIGN UP for Facing the new HR value streams in the maritime industry here
Not many seem to bat an eye when statistics show that barely 2% of seafarers are women. This gender gap is alarming. Now you are probably wondering why we even need women sailing?
The studies show that more diversified crew helps to create a better work environment and an overall positive effect. As a part of a new campaign organized by Danish Shipping, we want to give the topic more focus and bring the attention to increasing gender variety at sea. So, what can be done to improve these statistics?
The program consists of 3 parts, where we focus on 'before, during & after' seafaring life. You will meet the full value chain of educational institutions, shipowners, and female seafarers giving inputs to a discussion about making seafaring more attractive for women. This panel debate will not only aim to focus on engaging women, but also show possible future career opportunities in the maritime industry.
