The lack of workers and the difficulty to attract talent to the sector is an ever-greater challenge for the maritime industry. This strategic focus aims to overcome the gap existing between people’s training and company’s needs and to identify cluster actions that contribute to promoting professional degrees and to attracting and retaining talent in the sector.
The cluster’s activities include promoting training courses funded by Lanbide and Bizkaia Provincial Government. Those courses are aimed at getting the unemployed back to work and at workers searching for a better job.
01. Improve the training and skills of the professionals.
02. Detect the training needs existing in the sector.
03. Bolster industry-education cooperation.
04. Give impetus to attracting and retaining talent.
05. Detect the training needs existing in the sector.
06. Monitor sectoral data on employment and training.
Those courses seek to disseminate the importance of the maritime sector, along with generating interest among candidates towards the sector, (attracting talent) which may lead to training that is greater in depth and more intensive in the trades currently in demand (welding, boilermaking-fitting out, piping, etc.).
This course is part of a training pathway that includes career guidance, brokerage and job placement.
There will also be training in digital skills (50 hours) and equality (10 hours)
Students will acquire the required theoretical and practical knowledge, along with the necessary skills, for preparing surfaces, types of paint and the equipment to be used, within the safety conditions and environmental good practices needed for the post in the industrial and/or shipbuilding sector.
