/in , ,

A decade of collaboration to strengthen industry-education links and prepare future logistics professionals

The Escola Europea and The Propeller Club of Barcelona have renewed their long-standing partnership to continue supporting maritime and logistics training through the “Vine al Port” programme. This marks ten years of collaboration since the launch of Forma’t al Port, a key initiative that has helped bridge the gap between education and industry in the Port of Barcelona.

The renewed agreement, signed by Eduard Rodés, Director of Escola Europea, and Gonzalo Sanchis, President of The Propeller Club Barcelona, reinforces the shared commitment to fostering talent, enhancing industry knowledge, and promoting professional development within the logistics and port sectors.

Key Highlights of the Renewal

The Propeller Club will continue to support “Vine al Port” and its core initiatives, including:

  • Forma’t al Port – Practical training workshops for logistics and maritime students.
  • Aprenem Junts – Industry internships for teachers to gain hands-on experience.
  • Talent Programme – Connecting students with career opportunities in the sector.
  • Benvingut al Port – Induction sessions for new professionals joining the port community.

Additionally, The Propeller Club will contribute €2,000 annually in student scholarships over the next three years to facilitate participation in these training programmes.

A Continued Commitment to Industry-Education Collaboration

Since its inception, Forma’t al Port has provided thousands of students with first-hand insights into port operations, intermodal transport, and logistics management, helping to shape the next generation of maritime professionals.

“This renewal reaffirms our joint mission to equip young professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the logistics and maritime sectors,” said Eduard Rodés, Director of Escola Europea. “Over the past decade, The Propeller Club has been a key partner in making this possible, and we are excited to continue working together to strengthen industry-education links.”

With this agreement, Escola Europea and The Propeller Club Barcelona reinforce their role in developing talent and supporting the future of the port and logistics industries.

Butransa renews its agreement with the Escola Europea for the Forma’t al Port programme

Butransa, a leading company in the transport and logistics sector, has renewed its collaboration agreement with the Escola Europea to continue funding the Forma’t al Port programme. This partnership, originally signed in 2018, reaffirms Butransa’s commitment to training and developing future professionals in transport, logistics, and international trade, while also allowing the company to identify and attract top talent.

The Forma’t al Port programme, promoted by the Training and Employment Working Group of the Executive Council and led by the Escola Europea, aims to provide students with the necessary tools and knowledge to understand and navigate the reality of the port logistics sector. Since its creation in 2015, ten years ago, the programme has contributed to the training of hundreds of young professionals, establishing itself as a key initiative in supporting emerging talent in the sector.

This year, the Escola Europea is introducing an innovative improvement to the selection and evaluation process: students starting their internships in 2025 will receive a Predictive Index report, a tool that generates a detailed behavioural profile of candidates. This will allow sponsoring companies, such as Butransa, to access both the CVs of interns and their behavioural profiles, helping to identify the most suitable candidates for internships and potential employment, anticipating the evolving needs of the job market.

With this renewed agreement, Butransa strengthens its commitment to the development of both local and international talent, consolidating its position as a company dedicated to training and preparing the next generation of transport and logistics professionals.
