The Role of Simulation and Well-Designed Training in Successful Port Operations

Port operations take place in high-risk environments where every decision directly impacts safety and productivity. As a result, workforce development is essential, although time and equipment constraints often make effective training challenging.

In this webinar, port and training experts come together to discuss the key principles behind effective operator training in safety-critical environments and how those principles translate into real-world operator training success. Join Devon Van de Kletersteeg, Manager of Product Growth at CM Labs, a global leader in simulation-based training, and guest training expert Amynah Charania in a session that will demonstrate how simulation-based training supports stronger outcomes across the workforce development lifecycle.

You’ll Learn:

• How simulation enables progressive skill development without disrupting operations
• How well-designed training drives effective learning in high-stress port environments
• Why continuous learning is essential for maintaining skills over time
