Between 18 and 27 October, UNCTAD, in collaboration with Irish Aid, Dublin Port Company, Port of Cork and Belfast Harbour Commissioners will host a train the trainers workshop for 25 senior managers from African, Asian and Latin American ports. The workshop is a crucial part of UNCTAD’s TrainForTrade (TFT) Port Training Programme. The TFT Port Training Programme seeks to improve port efficiency and foster international trade by reinforcing the technical and managerial skills of a port community's human resources. The Port Training Programme is comprised of a “Modern Port Management” course and a final dissertation. During this training of trainers workshop, the 25 senior managers will be trained as local instructors on Modules 1-4 of the “Modern Port Management” course. After the workshop, they will serve as local instructors for their respective ports, collaborating with UNCTAD specialists and transferring their acquired knowledge to the participants of the TrainForTrade Port Training Programme.
