Gefco Austria trains East European dispatchers
Gefco: free training for German and East European dispatchers in cooperation with FH of bfi Vienna The Austrian subsidiary of the French logistics service provider Gefco organises trainings for German and East European dispatchers. These free trainings will be carried out until the end of 2010 in Vienna every month. Thus Gefco underlines Vienna’s position as a hub for Central and Eastern Europe, as the group states. The target of this program is to train dispatchers in order to ensure the high quality requirements of the Gefco group and to expand their leading position within the industrial logistics sector. These trainings contain legal basics, including the international agreement about transport contracts on the road CMR and delivery agreements, but first and foremost basic knowledge concerning the daily work of a dispatcher. This includes knowledge about different types of vehicles, tolls and customs regulations as well as multi modal transport solutions. Moreover the program contains information about order handling, the current market situation, sales and marketing as well as facts and figures of the Gefco group. Gefco organises these trainings in cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences bfi Vienna. Andreas Breinbauer, vice director of the university institute and in charge of the content of the training, comments: „It is a great pleasure to us, that Gefco selected University of Applied Sciences bfi Vienna as academic partner for its training. This being a distinction for the international orientation of University of Applied Sciences bfi Vienna, but also a distinction of Vienna as a location of education and its competences for Middle and Eastern Europe”. With this initiative Gefco addresses dispatchers who can not find logistic trainings in many East European countries. Before the end of 2010 around 200 employees from different business segments of the enterprise will participate in these courses. Quelle: LogEastics |
