2 A Skills Strategy for the future Maritime Technologies Skills Gaps - on the managerial and operational levels STRATEGY & ACTION PLAN Objective: Match demand and supply of skills INDUSTRY LED // DEMAND DRIVEN MARITIME TECHNOLOGIES VALUE CHAIN INDUSTRY SERVICES EDUCATION & TRAINING

5 MATES Strategy Skills intelligence to better align educational opportunities and labour market by closing skills gaps. Validate actions and priorities suggested by the skills strategy through 11 pilot case studies involving both education providers and industry Increase the attractiveness of maritime careers through awareness raising Widen perceptions of Ocean Literacy initiatives by embedding an appropriate industrial perspective

6 WP3: Prioritisaion and action lines Project structure WP7: Quality control and risk management WP8: Overall coordination & management WP1: Stakeholders mobilisation WP2: Baseline strategy& foresight PLAN: Preliminary strategy for bridging current and future skills needs WP4: Practical Pilot Experiences (PEs) Mobility New curricula and professional profiles New trainings Digtal skills Green Skills Innovation management Do: Test Ocean Literacy Maritime Do: Test hackathon DO: Test WP5: Critical revision and long-term industryled Action Plan CHECK ACT: Long-term industry lead Action Plan WP6: Dissemination and outreach

7 MATES thematic focus SHIPBUILDING Digital skills Green skills 21st Century skills Gender Balance OCEAN LITERACY OFFSHORE RENEWABLES VET Standards & Governance Revision of training offer and occupational profiles. Analysis of paradigm shifters Identification of gaps Transversal approach in all activities and outputs

8 Results achieved: mobilisation 135 experts and stakeholders commit to contribute to the strategy, organized in 8 thematic groups:

9 Results achieved: skills intelligence Repository of relevant information on maritime technologies and sectors: 220 publications and 147 projects reviewed. State of the Art compilation Value chain of Offshore Renewables Site Planning Manufacturing Construction & Installation Specialized Transport Research & Development Other Supporting Services Operation & Maintenance Decommissioning/ Recommissioning Baseline report 35 occupations + 25 supporting occ described according to ESCO essential skills and competences 431 training offers analysed (all EQF levels) 23 occupations + 46 supporting occ described according to ESCO essential skills and competences 500 training offers analysed (all EQF levels)

10 Some preliminary findings Maritime Industry needs New capabilities and skills Specialized training offer directly adapted to the sector - Skills in the digital domain and green technologies - 21st Century workplace skills - Senior management should be involved in the process of new capabilities building: specific training for decision makers is needed.

11 Some preliminary findings Lack of educational offer addressing specifically offshore renewable energies - Most programs focus on renewables in general - Offer is concentrated in higher levels: EQF 7 40% of the workforce VET EQF levels 3-5. c Actual training itineraries require: - Complement different programs - Huge on-job training Need for mechanisms to facilitate the completion of training itineraries which can get official recognition: - Modular trainings, Access to other sector trainings - Ad hoc training offer

12 Some preliminary findings The industrial maritime sectors need to attract talent. Shipbuilding is ageing: in most EU countries the average age exceeds 45 years Youngsters are not interested in the industrial maritime sectors: lack of knowledge, association with a negative image Women are underrepresented, and there are few gender statistical data. As a consequence, it is needed to: Implement generational replacement mechanisms. Spread an updated image of maritime industry: positive, high tech, future Create awareness raising of the maritime sectors Develop gender statistics Break barriers for women integration Raising the level of ocean literacy could contribute to reverse this trend

13 Ocean Literacy in MATES An understanding of the Ocean s influence on us and our influence on the ocean Transversal and multidirectional content HOW? Ocean Literacy Leaflet, Sea Change Project Transfer of scientific knowledge to the industry Industrial perspective in literacy delivery New possibilities that maritimized CVs can yield for blue growth and jobs. Capitalization of past O.L efforts and results Raising awareness about the maritime industry s careers to attract youngsters Inviting OL experts to contribute to the Strategy Design.

14 Some preliminary findings Skills needs are constantly evolving, and the pace of change is accelerating MATES mobilizes a network of external experts to contribute to the project processes, including continuous updates; The strategy will envisage recommendations to create such connexions beyond the project. Long-term skills ecosystems: meeting points for the most relevant stakeholders from industry, academia/education and research willing contribute to get 'fresh' and sustainable data about the offer and demand and permanently taking decisions to bridge the gap between the skills needed by the labour market and the trainings offered.
