Sixty students from fourteen high schools in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county tested their skills in the regional finals of the national Profi-t-ability logistics championship at the power tool plant of Bosch in Miskolc. The participants came from the schools of the Miskolc Vocational Training Center, the Szerencs Vocational Training Center, the Ózd Vocational Training Center, as well as ecclesiastical institutions. In the national competition with a total prize of 3 million forints, students proved their knowledge by solving realistic tasks. Moreover, they not only compared their knowledge of logistics, but also that of finance, economics and strategic thinking.
At the competition, the talents of the future can get to know different industries in an informal way and gain an insight into the day-to-day operations of large companies in Hungary. In addition to talent management, the organizers also address employers, who can build relationships with future employees in an extraordinary environment. The championship also serves to strengthen relations between vocational training institutes and the corporate sector.
The regional final was jointly organized by the Logistics Managers' Club of Large Companies, the Miskolc Vocational Training Center and one of its schools, Gábor Baross Business and Transportation Technology, as well as Robert Bosch Power Tool Kft., for the second time.
"At the Profi-t-ability competition, students have to solve tasks that employees face day-to-day in a large company. At Bosch, we consider it important that young people gain as much practical experience as possible during their training, because this is the only way to gain competitive knowledge. Hence why we participate in secondary vocational training and dual training, and also why we cooperate in education and research and development with the University of Miskolc," – said László Fükő, general manager of Robert Bosch Power Tool Kft.
