The Need of Practical and Skill Based Higher Education for The Port and Shipping Industry

Abstract

Ports and shipping constitute a complex international business landscape where effective time management and skilled operations are crucial. The industry demands experienced professionals with managerial expertise. However, traditional educational institutions often fall short in providing the practical and skill-based training required for this sector. To bridge this gap, educational programs need to incorporate industry-specific curricula and practical training components. This adjustment is essential for enhancing students' employability in the port and shipping industry.
