Students from six leading Polish universities offering logistics-related programs completed internships at various regional company facilities across the country, including Piaseczno, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Poznań, and Szczecin. As part of their internships, the students worked in the domestic, international, and maritime transport departments, as well as in the warehouse administration department.
The winners of the program are Blanka Bokun from the University of Economics in Katowice and Sławomir Niepolski from the University of Szczecin. Furthermore, one of the participants in the Wincanton Talent Forge program also won the “Grasz o staż” (Playing for an Internship) competition, organized by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Gazeta Wyborcza, with the prize being the opportunity to complete a paid internship at a selected company.
The two winners will have the opportunity to attend the international logistics conference, Eurolog 2008 in Gothenburg, which is one of the most important events of its kind in 2008. During their visit to Sweden, the laureates will have the chance to participate in numerous discussion panels addressing current issues in supply chain organization and transport services. The students will also be able to visit the trade fair, where all major logistics companies in Scandinavia will be present.
