Elsevier Preparing a Workforce for the New Blue Economy - Elsevier

Preparing a Workforce for the New Blue Economy: People, Products and Policies is a comprehensive guide to developing talent for the emerging maritime and ocean-based industries. This Elsevier publication explores how organisations can train the next generation of workers through undergraduate and graduate programmes, examines critical skillsets required in the sector, and analyses the role of big data in workforce development. The book covers the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) in the United States, economic opportunities across African coastal countries, and the involvement of governmental agencies, non-profits and NGOs in workforce planning. A broad range of case studies illustrate real-world applications, including oil spill response, commercial fishing operations, data protection and harvesting, sustainability initiatives and weather forecasting. This resource is essential for policymakers, educators and industry leaders seeking to build a skilled workforce capable of meeting the challenges and opportunities of the new blue economy.
