The World Maritime Academy celebrated on the 18th of May the International Day for Women in Maritime.
Under WE CARE: WMA Social Responsibility umbrella offers free-of-charge, the online Advance Certificate in Maritime Business, in short MAR-EVA, with the aim to empower disadvantaged women and to contribute to shipping sustainability.
There is still today a significant gender imbalance in maritime. Education is the only tool that people gain from greater knowledge, skills, values, self-confidence and capabilities, and thereof education allows for opportunities. This comes in combination with the fact that to achieve maritime sustainability, core maritime knowledge and skills are required.
The 2023 theme ‘Mobilizing networks to gender equality’, places an emphasis in the dynamics of collaboration and networking in achieving gender equality in maritime. We celebrate the 18th of May mobilizing our global network, together with our 20 Instructors, 10 members of the Advisory Committee, and our supporters.
MAR-EVA starts every year, on the 31 of October. The 2022-2023 cohort’s participants come from Ghana, Cameroon, India, Greece, Benin, Algeria, Nigeria, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and UK.
The course is designed for women at any age and stage of life, to start their career in to shipping or to advance their career. To match the diverse needs of the participants, the course is self-paced.
There is no limit on how many participants can be accepted as long as they are women, financially or socially disadvantaged and they fulfil the entry requirements.
The Advance Certificate in Maritime Business, MAR-EVA is open for applications for the year 2023-2024, starting on the 31st October 2023.
