How can we ensure we have the expertise needed to develop the marine and energy industries of the future? That is the topic when students and the business community come together at Ocean Young.
“If you’re a student in Bergen and want to explore your career options, this is a great opportunity to get a good overview,” says Jon Hellevang, R&D Manager at GCE Ocean Technology.
Ocean Young is an annual event that connects students with companies and organizations in the energy, maritime, and marine technology sectors. Through company presentations, conversations at the booths, and a group dinner, participants have the opportunity to make valuable connections, share knowledge, and explore future career opportunities.
For students, the event offers a unique opportunity to meet potential employers, discuss student projects, and learn more about summer jobs, internships, trainee programs, and permanent positions. At the same time, companies get to meet talented students with the skills needed to help solve the challenges of tomorrow.
Ocean Young is also an important platform for strengthening collaboration between academia and the business community. When students, researchers, and companies come together, new connections are formed that can contribute to innovation, knowledge sharing, and sustainable development.
