MARINE insurer GARD has been awarded the 2014 YoungShip Young Corporation Award at the international YoungShip conference (ShipCon) Alesund, Norway, for efforts to promote young employee development.
The shipping industry is acknowledged as one of Norway's key strategic industries. If shipping is to stay ahead in global competition, and solve tomorrow's challenges, it is dependant on attracting the brightest brains and the hardest-working employees, a statement from GARD and YoungShip said.
The ceremony was combined with the opening of the GCE BLUE Maritime annual conference.
A statement from the award's jury said: "The 2014 winner of the Young Corporation Award promotes its young leaders through internal involvement in decision making and change processes.
"Young leaders are targeted and developed through a one-year leadership development programme before taking on their leadership roles."
This year's winner of the Young Corporation Award offers a 12-month trainee programme designed to offer graduates and young professionals the opportunity to gain an understanding of the industry through placements in each of its departments and offices around the world.
The graduates follow a training and development programme, which includes a combination of lectures, seminars and practical assignments. They also have the opportunity to attend a range of internal and external training courses.
