Workforce Development
Long-term capability programmes that take a workforce from where it is today to where your industry needs it to be.
Workforce development is more than a training calendar
It's the long view – taking a group of people, often from limited prior experience, and building the competence, confidence and credentials they need to safely do the jobs your industry depends on. Maersk Training partners with operators, national authorities, technical colleges and community institutions around the world to design and deliver exactly those programmes. Think 6, 12 or 18-month pathways rather than 3-day courses.
What a workforce development programme can include
Workforce strategy and needs analysis
Who do you need, in what roles, with what competencies, by when and what is the gap today?
Pathway design
A structured learning journey from entry-level to job-ready, with clear milestones, assessments and credentials at each stage.
Course design and accreditation
Bespoke and standard courses aligned to GWO, STCW, OPITO, IWCF, Nautical Institute and other relevant frameworks.
Delivery at scale
Our centres, partner facilities, client sites or blended, with instructor development and train-the-trainer where local capacity is being built.
Assessment and competence management
Behaviour-based assessment, simulator-driven evaluation, and ongoing competence tracking.
Human factors and leadership
Embedded throughout, so that workforce development builds the culture and behaviours, not just the technical skills.
Who it's for
Operators building or scaling operations in a new region.
National authorities and agencies investing in local workforce capability.
Operators transitioning workforces between industries – for example oil & gas to offshore wind.
Technical colleges and community institutions developing industry-aligned pathways.
Large contractors standardising competence across multiple sites and countries.
