DP World, a worldwide leader in logistics and trade, has launched a Global Education Platform designed to equip young people with the knowledge, skills and opportunities to thrive in the world of global trade.
The innovative platform bridges the gap between education and industry through hands-on learning, digital innovation, with a strong focus on sustainability and inclusion. It is a key part of DP World’s commitment to reach 1.5 million students by 2030, nurturing future leaders and driving positive social impact worldwide.
The platform offers:
- 22 free downloadable resources for teachers, lecturers and professors
- Interactive activities, games, and modules for students aged seven to 16
- Advanced resources for young professionals to develop critical industry skills
- A career section showcasing opportunities at DP World
Available in English, Arabic, Spanish and French, the platform covers a wide range of topics including STEM education, digital skills, sustainability, logistics and green technologies. Real-world case studies tailored to regional trade practices bring learning to life, while simulations and practical exercises ensure seamless integration into existing curriculums.
Nicholas Mazzei, Vice President, Sustainability Europe, at DP World, said: “Our Global Education Platform is more than just a learning tool, it’s a gateway to opportunity. By connecting classrooms with real-world trade and logistics, sharing the latest technology and insights, we’re helping young people build future-ready skills and inspiring the next generation of innovators.”
The initiative is supported by DP World Advocates, a network of employee volunteers who bring the platform to life in local schools through workshops and mentorship.
As part of the Global Education goal, DP World is sponsoring Dr Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots ‘Reasons for Hope’ dynamic UK 2025 School Tour. Dr Goodall, a UN Messenger of Peace and Planetary Guardian, will be visiting over 70 schools across the UK, primarily in areas with low socioeconomic status and diverse communities, teaching children about the natural world and sustainability. The tour has developed educational videos, manuals and online tuition which will also be made freely available on the DP World education platform.
Renowned director and producer Rosemary Reed, who is working with the Goodall Institute, on this project, said: “We are thrilled to collaborate with DP World to bring the Roots & Shoots UK education programme to life.
“Inspired by Dr Jane Goodall’s lifelong mission, our programme empowers young people to engage directly with the environment and sustainability in their own communities. By combining DP World’s global leadership in sustainability with our hands-on learning approach, we are helping to build a generation of environmentally conscious leaders.”
DP World continues to invest heavily in talent through its GROW Europe Graduate Programme — a two-year rotational scheme offering graduates the chance to work on cutting-edge projects in port automation, digital supply chains and sustainability. The programme is designed to build a strong pipeline of future leaders ready to shape the future of global logistics.
