Detailed Selling Lead Description
Subject: Norway - Offer - The Student Day 2018
Message:
In addition to workshops, meetings with exhibitors and networking opportunities
like mingling and a happy hour - a new tool for easier and more direct
collaboration between students and the maritime industry will be launched.
Bridging the gap between students and the industry at Nor-Fishing
The fisheries and aquaculture industry needs to attract the best heads in order
to develop further. You and your company can now register to participate at this
year’s Student Day to get to know the students better.
– For the students, this is an exceptional opportunity to get to know companies
in the fisheries industry. At Nor-Fishing, they can learn more about the fisheries
industry in Norway and explore the opportunities that exist in terms of jobs and
a career in the industry, says Project Manager at NTNU Bridgehead Fisheries
and Aquaculture 2050, Alexandra Neyts.
During this year’s Student Day, there will, in addition to visits to the exhibition,
be organized a workshop for students and companies, lectures, breakfast at the
meeting place and mingling during Happy Hour.
A bridge to knowledge
Ms Neyts says that the companies represented at the exhibition seem to
particularly wish to be involved in master and student theses. The Student Day
is organized every year, and at previous occasions companies employed
students they met during Student Day.
She also presents NTNU Bridgehead Fisheries and Aquaculture as a new
communications platform, which is launched during the exhibition as part of the
project Bridgehead Fisheries and Aquaculture 2050. It will make it easier to
establish contact between students and companies regarding study theses,
summer jobs and other types of projects.
– NTNU Bridgehead Fisheries and Aquaculture will be a living platform where
companies can register announcements or ideas for studies and actively follow
these up. In addition, the portal is connected to supervisors and professors at
NTNU who can also follow up inquiries from companies.
There is a need for greener and smarter cooperation between the sciences and
theoretical competence, in order to meet future challenges in the fisheries and
aquaculture industries.
– In this connection, we see that it is particularly technology that interests the
students. Both students and research groups have knowledge and expertise
that we may not quite know how can be utilized yet, says Neyts.
Cross fertilization
Some of the most interesting issues in the industry at the moment are related to
digitalization, automation and new requirements related to sustainable
development. These are issues that can be addressed by students from a wide
variety of disciplines.
– We wish to embrace a broad set of issues and to activate the whole student
body. The exhibition is relevant to many different disciplines, because they gain
insight into the technology and the challenges facing the industry when it seeks
to create continued growth, comments Neyts.
