Maritime Job Fair at the Maritime University of Gdynia
Interesting internship and traineeship opportunities, company booths, and high student interest – this was the scene at the first-ever Maritime Job Fair at the Maritime University of Gdynia, where Gazeta Morska was also present.
In brief
The first ever Seafarers' Job Fair at Gdynia Maritime University brought together 16 shipping companies with job offers for students on seagoing ships. Company representatives, including Polska Żegluga Morska, Stena Line, CHIPOLBROK and Marlow Navigation, presented internships and employment conditions. According to organisers' estimates, several hundred students of maritime programmes at Gdynia Maritime University visited the fair. Master mariner Dariusz Jellonnek, director of the Shipowner and Sea Training Department and initiator of the event, announced that the fair will become a regular event.
Representatives of companies at specially arranged booths showcased their business profiles, discussed details of available internships and job opportunities, and answered students' questions.
- For us, this is a perfect opportunity to talk to companies, learn about what they offer, and find out who they are looking for - said one first-year student.
The Maritime Job Fair is an initiative that not only facilitates students in finding internships but also helps build bridges between the university and the maritime industry. Organizers emphasized that this is one of the rare occasions where students can explore maritime internship offers from over a dozen companies – all in one place!

- The first Maritime Job Fair at the Maritime University of Gdynia is behind us, and I think we can consider it a great success. We managed to gather 16 shipping companies offering jobs for students aboard maritime vessels. The turnout exceeded our wildest expectations – we estimate that several hundred students from UMG’s maritime programs attended. Before the event, we had promised ourselves that if the attendance was high and we received positive feedback from both employers and students, the Maritime Job Fair would become a recurring event. I can now confirm that it will. Our goal was to bring together many companies offering cadet jobs in one place, allowing students to quickly familiarize themselves with the current job market in the maritime sector. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to making the Maritime Job Fair our shared success - said MSc Eng. Capt. Dariusz Jellonnek, Director of the Shipping and Maritime Internships Department and the event’s initiator, after the fair concluded.
