The strategy at the Maritime Academy is aimed at enhancing operational excellence through three key areas: strengthening industry partnerships, enhancing curriculum and training programs, and improving student engagement and support. For example, by collaborating with leading maritime companies for internship opportunities, students gain practical experience that improves their industry readiness. Establishing an industry advisory board helps ensure that the curriculum aligns with industry standards, enhancing the educational quality.
Integrating cutting-edge technology into training simulators not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures that graduates are well-prepared for current industry challenges. By updating the curriculum to meet current regulations, the academy stays relevant and competitive. Additionally, the implementation of student peer mentorship schemes and career services centers underlines the commitment to supporting students’ overall well-being and career preparedness.
