SKILLSEA is a 4-year project, launched to ensure that the region’s maritime professionals possess key digital, green and soft management skills for the rapidly changing maritime labour market. The project was developed by the industry’s social partners: the European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) and the European Community Shipowners’ Associations (ECSA). It is comprised of a consortium of national maritime authorities, shipping companies, shipowners’ associations, maritime trade unions and maritime education providers from 16 countries in Europe. As we are approaching the final four months of SkillSea and the finalisation of this vast and important project for the Maritime Transport Sector is coming closer and closer, it is a perfect moment to summarise and give some input about the current status of the project and about the activities to come. EACEA has approved an extension of the project until June 3, 2023. Perhaps the essential part of the work in the coming months is focused on the future of SkillSea. Three different deliverables are necessary to mention: deliverable 2.3, called Structural cooperation; deliverable 3.7, describes the Strategy Key Findings of our project and deliverable 5.2, the Roadmap towards a sustainable Skills Strategy.
