Blue Economy organizations highlighted their activities and jobs on 6 October 2020 at Bluebridge, Ostend.
After the success of "Blue Growth Job fair 2019", Bluebridge, Blue Cluster, VOKA West-Vlaanderen, VDAB and Economisch Huis Oostende joined forces for a follow-up edition on Tuesday 6 October 2020.
Thanks to the Voka Welt project and subvention from the Flemish Government, we got a repeat this year under the name "Blue Career Day". The concept remained the same: to introduce job seekers and graduates to the advantages of and the jobs within the Blue Economy!
The objective of this job fair is twofold: on the one hand, jobseekers and graduates can get acquainted with the jobs and activities within the Blue Economy, on the other hand, the companies in this industry can draw attention to their vacancies. This shows that, even in times of crisis, various recruitments are made within this sector, which has only positive consequences for our local economy.
No fewer than 20 companies were represented at this job fair!
- 24SEA, Defensie, De Blauwe Cluster, e-BO Enterprises, ECA Robotics Belgium, Economisch Huis Oostende, Elscolab, GEOxyz, Haven Oostende, International Marine & Dredging Consultants, Jan De Nul, MHI Vestas Offshore Wind Belgium, MOORE Business Cosulting, MULTI. Engineering, Noordzee Helikopters Vlaanderen, Otary RS, Renasci, Siemans Gamesa Renewable Energy, VITO and VDAB.
A nice extra: thanks to Noordzee Helicopters Vlaanderen, a helicopter flight for 5 people was raffled among the visitors at the fair. The winners will be able to admire the wind farms and all the great assets of the Blue Economy in Ostend from above.
