Objective
Changes are taking place in different aspects of the marine industries in Europe. These have reduced the employment capacity of the traditional maritime industries and are resulting in a skills deficit which is inhibiting the exploitation of new technologies and methodologies. Particular problems include the skill levels of ship-based personnel, and shortages in personnel capable of undertaking environmental audits in the marine environment. As a result, a more radical approach to the development and delivery of training is required, particularly the establishment of innovative systems to link education and training organisations with enterprises needing new or better skills for service or product development.
The MARSK2 project will develop new systems to deliver the marine training expertise within an enhanced MARSK network to commercial and industrial enterprises. It will provide a mechanism for the trans-European implementation of programmes to address gaps identified by MARSK and others in marine skills training.
The partners will use computer conferencing, e-mail and other ICT to develop general or specific training modules for enterprises. Local work place assessors and company staff will be trained to deliver training, but the training itself will be accessible from anywhere within the EU, through one-to-one mentoring via e-mail for workers, apprentices and trainees.
Impact
The transnational dimension of this project will improve innovation and application of new technologies and methodologies within enterprises by providing direct and sustained access to research and academic expertise.
