EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES

DP World supports young people in their training and first steps in the world of work. We help them to expand their knowledge of the port, the logistics chain, and DP World.

We do this by, for example, offering 4–12 weeks of initial work experience through internships in the technical subjects of secondary education. In 2020, the number of internships was reduced because of COVID-19.
