The Bremen Port and Logistics Representation (BHV) has introduced a new platform for professional qualification. According to its own statements, the association aims to make its members' further training offers more visible and thus strengthen the securing of skilled workers in the region with the Competence Atlas for Further Education.
The website, which centrally consolidates the educational offerings of BHV member companies, is accessible at weiterbildung.bhv-bremen.de.
"With the new Competence Atlas, we want to increase the visibility of educational offerings within the industry and simultaneously
contribute to securing skilled workers in Bremen and Bremerhaven," explained Nadine Hellmold, spokeswoman for the BHV's Further Education Working Group.
The online offering, according to the statement, is aimed at professionals from all areas of the port and logistics industry—from container logistics to customs and sales topics to IT and vehicle technology. The platform offers different formats, including seminars, webinars, company tours, and study programs. Users can specifically filter the offerings by topic, format, and target group. Both trainees and career starters, as well as
experienced professionals and management personnel, are addressed.
The publishing of educational offerings is reserved for BHV member companies. However, participation in the offerings is open to all interested parties. Some providers exclusively offer discounts to other member companies. BHV Managing Director Petra Lüdeke emphasized that the content of the platform is continuously maintained and expanded.
The Competence Atlas for Further Education adopts the structure and design of the already existing BHV Competence Atlas for Digitalization, which has been providing information about digitization projects in the
port and logistics industry for some time.
The BHV represents around 220 companies from logistics, port economy, and the transport industry in the greater Bremen and Bremerhaven area. As a business and interest association, it organizes, among other things, the Project Logistics Forum, which took place for the first time this year as part of the new congress fair Logisticsconnect. In addition, formats such as Captain's Day at the Bremen Town Hall and regular lecture evenings at the port club are part of the event
