YES to Schools & Universities

Through the YES TOUR TO SCHOOLS & UNIVERSITIES program, we conduct presentations to primary, middle, and high school students, as well as university students, aiming to inform them about the opportunities offered by the maritime sector. The program highlights the 300+ career paths related to the industry and the employment prospects within over 3,000 companies operating in the field.

It is striking that 90% of the students who participate were previously unaware of the significance of Greek Shipping, the career opportunities it offers, or its contribution to Greece.

The program is approved by the Ministry of Education, Religious Affairs, and Sports and includes the creation of two educational tools:

1. Children’s Book: “Destination Sea”
Targeted at children aged 8 and above, it provides essential knowledge about shipping, including:

• What shipping is
• Types of ships
• Maritime professions at sea and onshore
• Why ships don’t sink
• The size of ships
• Shipping and the environment

2. Shipping Guide for Middle, High School & University Students and parents
Distributed for free, the guide includes:

• Departments within a shipping company
• The path to becoming a
• Captain
• Company profiles of our supporters
• Stories of prominent maritime families

Through this initiative, we bring the maritime industry closer to the younger generation, building bridges for understanding and utilizing the opportunities it offers.
