It focuses on strengthening the U.S. maritime workforce, addressing the demand for skilled mariners, and exploring bold ideas and proven strategies to build and sustain the American mariner workforce without sacrificing safety or quality of life. Key themes include pipeline building, entry pathways into maritime careers, modern training methods, career development, credentialing, mariner well-being, and quality of life. The conference aims to foster collaboration between education, labor, industry, and government efforts, align with the White House Maritime Action Plan, and reinforce national security readiness and long-term maritime competitiveness.
