Up-skilling the workforce

We will galvanise efforts to up-skill employees across the region, developing a Maritime Skills Academy that places industry at the heart of the skills development agenda and enables the shift to a future ocean economy.

This will build on the work of local partners such as City College Plymouth, which is already creating a bespoke facility to deliver new university-level courses on marine autonomy with higher-level pathways.

Postgraduate opportunities such as flexible Masters programmes and PhDs through the Doctoral Training College are available through the University of Plymouth, with students hosted at Marine Research Plymouth institutes as well as with maritime industry partners
