Center of excellence in logistics deployed in Itajai promises to further boost the sector

The efficiency of the logistics of Santa Catarina, with new deals closed from this performance, is seen by industry as a counterpoint to the losses the industry suffered in the state after the unification of the ICMS tax rate for imported products (which made an imported product has passed the SC reach 13 % cheaper than done here).

Given this scenario, a center of excellence in logistics as implemented in Itajai should further boost an area that has been highlighted in recent years.

— We feel a flow of customers specifically interested in our logistics, so technical training in this sector is a plus. With the issue of GST, as we lose the advantage of tax benefit logistics have become much more relevant. The opening of the Institute is an important movement — said the president of the Trade Union of Foreign Trade of the State of Santa Catarina (Sinditrade), Roger Marin.

With the logistics infrastructure in the country still problematic, the qualification of workers becomes an essential difference.

— Everything that contributes in the improvement of what is now our vocation is very favorable. And no doubt the training is a necessity for the logistics sector — the president of the Business Association of Itajaí, Eclésio da Silva points.

For specialist qualification is basic need

Postdoc in Regulating the Transport Infrastructure and Ports, Agrippinus Osvaldo Castro Junior analyzes how crucial investment in skills. He argues that today the share of transport and storage accounts for about 2/3 of the load and therefore the training is a basic necessity for which the trader is able to optimize procedures and ensure financial market efficiency and the production.

— The problem of lack of intellectual infrastructure is as or more serious than the lack of physical infrastructure. We lack qualified people both in public and in private — says the expert.

And in a market that lacks skilled professionals, responsible for higher education of these workers also approved the establishment of the Institute in Itajai. Coordinator of the Graduate Logistics Univali Romeo Zarske de Mello believes that practical experimentation by new unit will improve performance in day to day industry — and said that the university should participate in this process.

— The course of Logistics will try somehow, by covenant or partnership, integrate this preparatory work of the Institute for the market — says.
