Upskilling Programme

The Upskilling Programme (UP) is part of the “Advanced Skills in Safety, Environment and Security at Sea-ASSESS” project, approved and co-funded in the framework of the Call Blue Careers in Europe and launched by DG Mare. The project aims to realize three specific education and training paths, in English language, for human resources, both employed and young people, that will be able to manage safety and security issues in the maritime sector. The partnership, made up from mareFVG, University of Trieste, Lloyd’s Register EMEA, National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS) and National Research Council (CNR INSEAN), with the collaboration of Fincantieri and Wärtsilä, strives for the courses to become an international reference on these topics that are becoming more and more relevant for the maritime sector in Europe as well as in the world.
The Upskilling Programme is opened to both employed and unemployed professionals who have already developed technical skills and capabilities in maritime safety, the environment and security at sea. No study title is required.
20 attendants at maximum will be selected.
The course is held in English and focuses on two specific training profiles:
- Safety and Security manager
- Environmental manager
Each profile foresees 116 hours of frontal lessons and is carried out considering the following dates and places:
