Karol Zduńczyk and Professor engineer Damian Bocheński, PhD, professor of the Gdańsk University of Technology, Vice-Dean for Organization of Studies at the Faculty of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology, raised the issue connected with professional education in the context of attracting qualified employees. The speakers presented the business/science cooperation model as a significant aspect of this issue based on the cooperation between DORACO and the Gdańsk University of Technology. It is worth reminding that since 2018, the company has been the patron of the Interdepartmental Faculty of Marine and Coastal Engineering at the Gdansk University of Technology. DORACO experts conduct cyclical classes for students. Moreover, the company offers trainings and apprenticeships at its hydrotechnical construction sites. Ultimately, students will have a chance to be employed by the company.
