Before and After the Promotion

Following numerous requests of seafarers, unable to attend the first seminar “Before and After the Promotion”, on July 9 it took place again. We shall recall that the seminar is part of the author’s course of Yevgeny Bogachenko, Offshore Captain, head of the educational ‘Key4Mate’ project for seafarers.

Yevgeny Bogachenko has been running his educational ‘Key4Mate’ project for about 10 years with the main goal – to share personal experience and give young professionals the opportunity to receive invaluable practical advice from an active seafarer.

At the training, the seafarers discussed the importance of building relationships in the crew and the ability to present oneself as a specialist, as well as about factors affecting promotion.

“This seminar is universal – it is interesting to specialists both of engine and deck departments. There is no separate subject in maritime educational establishments on how to behave building a career, how to properly position oneself, how to climb the career ladder and gain a foothold in the position. I try to convey to the seafarers information based on my own experience, backed up by authoritative sources, and most important of all – in a simple, understandable language, eliminating all unnecessary”, said Yevgeny.

The MTWTU plans to invite Yevgeny Bogachenko for more joint trainings in the future: “Thanks to such enthusiasts as Yevgeny, our Union is able to organize such useful seminars and trainings for seafarers,” noted the MTWTU First Vice Chairman Oleg Grygoriuk. “Our Maritime Union Center was created to unite seafarers, to give them new knowledge, to develop them as individuals and specialists. We have many plans ahead, and I hope that together we can bring them all to life.”
