Abstract

Maritime workforce sustainability depends on vocational education systems that not only develop technical competencies but strategically align cadet professional development with viable career pathways. Yet current maritime curricula inadequately integrate competency-based design with career development mechanisms. This study investigates how competency-based curriculum design and strategic career pathway integration can strengthen professional development and workforce sustainability among maritime cadets in Indonesian maritime vocational education. A qualitative research design was employed, with semi-structured interviews conducted with 12 maritime industry and career development experts, 18 maritime vocational lecturers, and 15 recent cadet graduates across three maritime polytechnic institutions. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis with open and axial coding, cross-group comparison, and narrative synthesis. Five themes emerged: competency–career misalignment in current curricula, the self-efficacy–career readiness nexus, experiential career immersion deficits, industry-responsive competency framework requirements, and the mentorship–professional identity formation gap. Cross-group analysis demonstrated that experts prioritized workforce pipeline sustainability, lecturers emphasized curricular rigidity, and graduates reported a critical disconnect between certification-based competence and career navigation capacity. The study contributes an integrated competency-career pathway framework that positions career development not as a supplementary guidance function but as a structural curriculum design dimension essential for maritime workforce sustainability. The framework explicitly bridges Social Cognitive Career Theory with competency framework methodology, offering the first theoretically grounded, empirically derived design model for maritime cadet career-integrated education.

Abstract

The Blue Economy — broadly defined as the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and ocean ecosystem health — has emerged as a transformative strategic framework reshaping how maritime enterprises conceptualize, design, and communicate their value propositions in global markets. This study investigates how global maritime enterprises strategically position themselves within the Blue Economy paradigm, examining the processes through which shipping companies, port operators, and maritime logistics organizations reconfigure their business models to align with sustainable ocean industry principles. Drawing on qualitative thematic analysis of thirty in-depth interviews with maritime C-suite executives, Blue Economy policy architects, sustainability strategists, and port development specialists, the research identifies four strategic positioning archetypes and three business model reconfiguration pathways. Findings reveal that successful Blue Economy alignment requires coherent integration of national maritime policy frameworks, stakeholder ecosystem management, and organizational capability reconfiguration — dimensions that individually insufficient Blue Economy strategies systematically neglect. The study advances maritime strategic management scholarship by providing an empirically grounded framework for Blue Economy corporate strategy in global maritime enterprises.
