The fifth edition of the Port Stevedores course, which concluded on August 15th, has been characterized by the motivation of the 9 that took part of it, and also by their clear desire of learning and the signs of commitment on their way of being qualified as future workers from Mariel Container Terminal.
What have been the particularities of the course?
Talking about Sergio Orestes Salgado Díaz, who has been worked at the Terminal as a Foreman for 7 years, “based on the recommended program promoted by the company’s Human Resources department, a better recruitment of personnel has been achieved, dynamic which, in my opinion, is positive because the workers themselves propose their relatives and also their acquaintances, people that are committed to their actions, with interest, who seek economic stability and a future”.
“The position of the stevedores is not permanent, but transitory; because over a period of time with training and effort they will be come in our future cadres, middle managers and operators, therefore I consider that the selection of the future TC Mariel workers is essential for the advancement of the business”, says our instructor.
Sergio Orestes, who after his retirement has joined us once again as an instructor of the Training Center, he feels “blessed” for teaching and training the new generations of port stevedores, and confesses that, in search of greater results in educational quality, He has ideas to project new learning tools, with a view of increasing the motivation among the students and gaining more commitment among all.
Thus, the fifth edition of the Port Stevedores course, with 80 hours of theoretical learning and 90 hours dedicated to the internships, can be defined as a positive training experience, in which, according to their instructor, the 9 students are already fit to perform their duties.
