Bridging the gap

Sea service is becoming shorter. More professionals are considering transitioning to a position ashore. Expectations around leadership, technical capability and cross-sector knowledge are increasing. For today’s seafarers, continuous professional development is no longer something to consider “later” in a seagoing career but a strategic career decision that should begin early and carry throughout time at sea.

In this webinar, our speakers Capt. John Lloyd FNI, CEO, The Nautical Institute, John Chudley, Rector, MLA College, Capt. Sarabjit Butalia FNI, Lecturer, The Nautical Institute Academy and Somiyeh Djavanroodi, The Nautical Institute Academy explore how maritime professionals can successfully transition from sea to shore-based leadership roles whilst incorporating and enhancing the value of their seagoing careers.

They examine why now is a critical time to invest in continuing education and skills development. With career expectations shifting and the industry evolving with new shore opportunities opening up, gaining advanced qualifications such as a Master’s degree or diversifying your vocational skillset can be a decisive advantage to an experienced seagoing professional.

Whether you are actively planning a transition or simply keeping options and pathways open for the future, this webinar will provide practical insight to help you take control of your next professional move.
