Abstract

This research explores the role of maritime vocational schools in preparing graduates to become effective advocates for policy development and sustainability within the maritime industry. Through qualitative research and descriptive analysis, the study examines the perspectives of maritime professionals, lecturers, graduates, and government officials to assess the effectiveness of current educational programs. The findings highlight strong technical competency development but reveal gaps in policy understanding, leadership skills, and the practical application of sustainability principles. Collaboration between industry and educational institutions is effective, but greater government involvement is needed. To address these challenges, maritime vocational schools must enhance their curricula by incorporating modules on policy advocacy, leadership development, and sustainability. This will ensure that graduates are equipped to influence policy, lead teams, and promote sustainable practices, contributing to the long-term competitiveness and sustainability of the maritime industry.

Abstract

The maritime industry is facing a critical shift toward sustainability, particularly through the green shipping transition. This research was conducted to explore how maritime vocational programs are developing leadership competencies necessary to manage sustainable maritime practices. Previous studies have largely focused on technical skills, with limited attention to leadership development in the context of sustainability. This research aims to fill this gap by addressing the preparedness of maritime education in cultivating leaders who can drive the green transition. The study sought to answer key questions about how leadership competencies are integrated into vocational training and the extent to which sustainability is incorporated into maritime curricula. The analysis utilized a combination of a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and qualitative interviews with 10 maritime professionals, lecturers, and graduates. The SLR identified key competencies and frameworks in sustainable leadership, while the interviews provided insights into the current state of maritime education. The results indicate that while sustainability is increasingly recognized, there are gaps in leadership training, practical exposure to green technologies, and industry collaboration. The findings suggest that maritime vocational programs must adopt a more integrated approach to leadership development and sustainability. By embedding sustainability across curricula and providing hands-on learning opportunities, educational institutions can better prepare future maritime leaders. This research contributes to improving maritime education by addressing the intersection of leadership and sustainability.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of maritime vocational education in preparing graduates to meet the evolving demands of the industry, focusing on competency development, sustainability integration, and practical readiness. The research addresses the increasing need for training programs to align with global industry standards while incorporating sustainable practices to manage environmental and operational challenges. By integrating insights from maritime professionals, educators, graduates, and regulatory officers, the study provides a comprehensive and grounded analysis. The research explores how maritime education equips graduates with industry-relevant skills and incorporates sustainability into training frameworks. Using a qualitative approach, the study involved interviews with 10 stakeholders and thematic analysis of their experiences. Findings indicate strong outcomes in practical readiness (score: 9.3/10), supported by immersive sea-going experiences and hands-on training. However, sustainability integration scored lower (8.6/10), highlighting the need for a greater emphasis on environmental practices and sustainable operations within curricula. The results underscore the significance of collaboration between educational institutions and industry professionals to ensure training aligns with real-world demands. This study offers valuable recommendations for curriculum design and sustainability practices, contributing to a well-prepared and environmentally conscious maritime workforce. The findings serve as a foundation for policy development, institutional strategies, and further research into vocational training and sustainable maritime operations.
