FASTER DEVELOPMENT
MORE PEOPLE
Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized by a range of new
technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological
worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even
challenging ideas about what it means to be human.

CHALLENGES: economic and social inequalities; older
workforce; small and medium size companies limitations
"The changes are so profound that, from the perspective of human
history, there has never been a time of greater promise or potential
peril.
My concern, however, is that decision-makers are too often caught
in traditional, linear (and non-disruptive) thinking or too absorbed
by immediate concerns to think strategically about the forces of
disruption and innovation shaping our future.“
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Professor Klaus Schwab
“85% of the jobs that today’s learners will be doing in 2030 haven’t been invented yet.”
World Economic Forum
(WEF) Future of Jobs Report
2018 suggests that over
50% of employees will
require re-skilling by 2022,
largely around technology
competencies, together with
critical human skills such as
creativity, originality and
complex problem-solving.

Industry knowledge. Tech expertise. A culture of innovation.
“Incremental changes to
our education and
corporate learning
systems will not be
sufficient.” (p.3)
“It’s a race between education and
technologies.” (p.6)
“[Huge losses] if skill-building doesn’t catch
up with the rate of technological progress.” (p.6)
“STAYING STILL IS NOT AN OPTION” (p.7)
INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGIES
WILL RECONFIGURE ROLES
“(…) as people collaborate with
intelligent machines, there will be a
significant opportunity to augment human
capabilities and elevate the work people do.” (p.11)
INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGIES
ARE SUBVERTING THE SKILLS MIX
Our analysis reveals that for almost every
single role, a combination of Complex
Reasoning, Creativity, Socio-emotional
Intelligence and Sensory Perception skills is
increasingly relevant. (p.14)
Complex Reasoning includes critical thinking, deductive reasoning, active
learning and a set of higher-order cognitive capabilities.
Socio-emotional Intelligence involves active listening, social
perceptiveness, persuasion, negotiation and service orientation.
Sensory Perception incorporates a wide range of sensory
capabilities that have been stimulated through our increasingly
intimate relationship with digital technologies. (p.14)
Today’s education and training systems are
ill-equipped to build these skills.
By their nature, these skills are acquired
through practice and experience, often over
long periods of time. They are not inculcated
in the classroom, lecture hall or library. (p.14)
Our diagnosis:
Current education and corporate learning
systems are not equipped to address the
coming revolution in skills demand. (p.6)
Our proposed solutions:
[1] Learning with experiential techniques,
[2] shifting the focus from institutions to
individuals and [3] empowering the most
vulnerable people to learn. (p.6)

[2] SHIFT FOCUS FROM INSTITUTIONS
TO INDIVIDUALS
Today’s education and learning systems do
not usually address the needs of individual
learners. They measure and incentivize the
macro-level output of their institutions
[students quantity]. (p.22)
These measurements miss the point. Our
demand for more creativity doesn’t
necessarily mean we need more ballerinas
and sculptors, it means that each of us must
be more creative in our daily activities. (p.23)
[3] EMPOWER VULNERABLE LEARNERS
Education and corporate lifelong learning
systems must be accessible to all in order to
truly close the skills gap. (p.25)
Imagine a future where educational institutions,
employers, and individuals work together in an entirely new way.
They collaborate fully to provide the foundation for perpetual
learning so that everyone can participate in the Fourth
Industrial Revolution.

UK MARITIME SKILLS STRATEGY
2019 World of Shipping Portugal 21 - 22 November 2019, Hotel Riviera, Carcavelos, Portugal
Challenges and Opportunities for Maritime Education and TrainingApresentação Álvaro Sardinha - APORMAR
Maritime UK is the umbrella body for the maritime
sector, bringing together the shipping, ports, services,
engineering and leisure marine industries. Our purpose
is to champion and enable a thriving maritime sector.
Supporting over 1 million jobs and adding £46.1bn to
our economy, maritime is responsible for facilitating
95% of UK global trade, worth over £500bn per year.
NATIONAL PRIORITIES
- PEOPLE
Our aim is to have a talented and diverse workforce in
every part of the sector, driving business growth,
inspired to join us by a professional careers campaign,
and well-trained to use their talents to the full.
- Environment
- Regional Growth
- Innovation
- Competitiveness
The workforce we want to see in 2025SEPTEMBER 2018
Identify and prioritise the key skills issues
facing the UK maritime sector, (…) and
developing a ‘skills strategy’ with focused
objectives for addressing these concerns.
All-embracing ‘people’ strategy
the word ‘skills’ refers to every aspect of
recruiting, retaining and nurturing the skilled
and talented people we need for future
success, rather than a narrower focus on
training alone.
Our focus has fallen
very much on recruitment:
attracting talented people to work in the
maritime sector, recognising that many
other sectors are also working hard to
attract those same talented people.
4 principles (4 ‘A’s) for the Skills Strategy
Authoritative: we should say how things really are, and nail myths
Add value: and be careful neither to duplicate, nor get in the way of, what
others are already doing
Address problems: not just describe a problem or opportunity, but do
something about it
Focus on Action: no fat reports; no huge steering group (but open
communication)
Future Skills WorkshopNOVEMBER 2018
The need to change the way we think about careers, about the role of HR
and the broader implications on seafarer training, highlighting the
challenge in delivering training to meet the requirements of STCW, but also
extending it to provide the skills required for Digital / Smart Ships.
The future isn’t a straight line; we need to build a resilient and agile
workforce capable of responding to changes.
Regulation standards need to be challenged, and the pace of change
increased.
The training syllabus (STCW) is not fit for purpose; it is not dynamic to meet
the needs of the advancement of technology.
We need people with great flexibility and adaptability for the future,
addressing both seafarer and non-seafarer roles.
One key issue is the need to overcome the industrial mind-set that does
not recognise the “value of people.”
We need to address ways of demonstrating the “corporate value” of
people and their skills by encouraging industry to invest in future-proofing
skills, view people as an asset, not a cost.
MARITIME EDUCATIONCASE STUDIES
Unique Location
The strategic location of Gibraltar at theentrance to the Mediterranean Sea hasallowed Gibraltar to become a Maritime'Centre of Excellence'.
The Gibraltar Maritime Academy is based in theheart of international shipping traffic on fourmajor shipping lanes where over 10,000 ships(nearly 240 million gross tonnes) call in the portevery year, making it the busiest bunkering port inthe Mediterranean, and one of the busiest in theWorld; vessels call in, not only for bunkering, butfor a number of other services, which will becovered in the training component of our degree.
