Vassilis Psyrras to speak at “Blue Career” event

Andreas Neocleous & Co LLC is a long-term supporter of the Cyprus shipping sector, and regularly hosts seminars for Youngship Cyprus to inform young people of the benefits of working in the sector. In October this year Vassilis Psyrras, an associate in our shipping department who has both sea-going and shore-based experience in the shipping industry as well as with shipping law firms, will be a guest speaker at the “Blue Career” event, speaking about careers in shipping law.

The “Blue Career” event is jointly organised by the Cyprus Shortsea Promotion Centre, the Maritime Institute of Eastern Mediterranean, the Cyprus University of Technology and the Cyprus Maritime Academy. It will take place on 8 October 2015 at the premises of the new Maritime Academy in Larnaca and on 9 October 2015 at the Cyprus University of Technology, Limassol. It is aimed at raising awareness amongst the younger generation with regard to the marine and maritime industry, including oil and gas, and exploring the abundant opportunities of a sea or shore-based career in the industry.

“Blue Career” will bring together secondary school students, university students, graduates and industry professionals, and Vassilis and other guest speakers will present the different disciplines and options within the industry, and describe the qualifications required, the nature of the work and the opportunities for career development.

We are delighted to support events such as “Blue Career” which help young people make informed career choices and improve the quality of the shipping sector by raising awareness of the opportunities it offers.
