Development of Ocupational Standards and Competences in Maritime Transport and Logistics

Croatian Qualifications Framework (HKO) is a reform instrument that regulates the system of qualifications in the Republic of Croatia. It aims to increase the transparency and quality of the entire educational system, to establish a link between educational programmes and labour market and to facilitate the mobility of the European Higher Education Area and European labour market. Within the KIKLOP project, the real needs of the labour market in the area of maritime transport and logistics have been studied and key occupations and the necessary competences to perform key tasks within these professions have been identified. The research has been carried out by analysing databases from different sources, analysing the demand for the labour market, surveying entrepreneurs engaged in different sectors of maritime transport and logistics, tracking the number and structure of the advertisements available over the internet sources and social networks, and by interviewing several key experts in the targeted areas. Based on this information, the organization of the maritime sector has been mapped. The organization specifies and groups particular business services and occupations. Based on the criteria developed, 23 occupations have been selected and allocated to these professions for which the standards of competences and a matrix have been created. The paper aims at describing the methodological procedure for the creation of occupational standards and a matrix of competences. Examples of these standards have been presented with an emphasis on new professions which appeared on the market, arising from changes in the maritime industry and in the increasing specialization of maritime activities.
