The BMC and the UIB analyze the viability of creating a Nautical School in the Balearics

The poll boosted by both entities aims to collect the opinion of the sector and the society upon the viability of a new school that reinforces the training and employment in the Balearic nautical industry.

Balearic Marine Cluster and the UIB’s Social Council has launched an open survey with the goal of analyzing the viability and interest regarding the creation of a Nautical School in the Balearics.

The suggestion comes from the necessity of reinforcing specialized training in a strategic sector for the economy of the islands, that currently experiences a sustained growth and a high qualified profile demand. With this initiative, both entities aim to collect the opinion of professionals, companies, educational institutions, students and civilians in general, with the aim to identify the real training needs and the potential of creating a specific school.

The survey is available online and can be completed in just a few minutes. The results will be used as a base to value the following steps in the process of a school creation, in tight collaboration with the Council and the relevant public administrations..

With this action, Balearic Marine Cluster and the Council of the UIB aim to imply all the nautical community in the definition of an academic project that contributes to consolidating the superior training in the nautical sector and boosting local talent, innovation and competitivity of the sector in the Balearic islands.

The survey can be completed here.
