NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Houston, TX, United States, 2010/04/20 - Freight forwarders reviewing their training needs for the year should consider ‘killing two birds with one stone’ by attending Breakbulk USA and registering for the Certificate of Achievement in Project Cargo Management.

Breakbulk runs in Houston from October 12-14 at the George R. Brown Convention Center with the training course at the same venue from October 14-15.
The training is offered through a joint initiative of the Journal of Commerce Breakbulk Conferences (a division of UBM Global Trade) and international overdimensional cargo network the Project Professionals Group.
PPG general manager Kevin Stephens said the Breakbulk Expo and the training course would provide industry professionals with a unique opportunity to not only network and promote their capabilities at one of the largest expos of its kind, but also support training and professional development.
“The timing of Breakbulk USA and the training course could not be better in terms of providing companies with the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. The expo week is very convenient to drive new business opportunities and ensure you have the skilled staff to deliver on what you promise,” Mr Stephens said.

He said the project cargo training course was designed to fast track skills that otherwise could take many years to acquire and had been developed at the request of industry representatives who recognized the international skills shortage in the heavy-lift freight forwarding sector.
Mr Stephens said blending project cargo knowledge and essential business communication skills has proved to be a powerful combination that encourages course attendees to think differently about the way they do business.
The course has been successfully held in Mumbai, Bremen and Singapore and is open to all companies involved with the management and administration of heavy-lift, project cargo, overdimensional freight forwarding, including 3PL providers and their clients.
