How this will be achieved
Engagement with maritime and education sectors is central to this project’s success. Industry Skills Australia is engaging with maritime employers, industry bodies, unions, regulators, and government agencies.
Stakeholder engagement aims to ensure the skills pipeline model reflects real-world needs and supports the development of a sustainable, skilled maritime workforce. Feedback will shape recommendations relating to policy settings, training products, and delivery approaches to address critical skills shortages and support strategic national initiatives.
