Lectures at the Faculty of Economics

For many years now the employees of PKS Gdańsk-Oliwa S.A. have been readily engaged in the social activities reflecting the value and ethics in business. Such activities include the broadly-understood cooperation with universities and colleges.

Every year the Master’s Thesis Contest is organised under the patronage of PKS Gdańsk-Oliwa S.A. and in the current winter semester, as an element of promotion of our company as the first turquoise organisation in the TSL industry, lectures for students of the Faculty of Economics, University of Gdańsk are conducted, in cooperation with the Chair of Transportation Policy.

The aim of these lectures is to get the students interested in the TSL subject matter and encourage them to work in the transportation and logistics sector. An opportunity to participate in the lectures with the representatives of the industry companies creates a chance to learn about the practice  and experience in the job of a forwarder and getting practical knowledge used in professional work later. The lectures are given by the employees of PKS Gdańsk-Oliwa S.A. every two weeks in the winter semester for the 4^th Year students.
