To assist MET providers, maritime professionals, and other MET stakeholders in the strategic internationalisation, strategic cooperation and evaluation processes and for allowing versatile employability assessments of skills’ profiles, four innovative tools have been elaborated:
- Stakeholder Cooperation for MET Tool (S.CO.MET.T) - A strategic tool designed to support the cooperation of diverse but appropriately matched MET stakeholders, tailored to the specific needs of each case.
- Strategic Evaluation MET Tool (ST.E.ME.T) – A versatile AHP-based tool developed to evaluate the suitability of MET curricula within a continuously evolving maritime industry.
- Shipping Employability AHP Based Anticipating Tool (S.E.A.B.AN.T)– Created to assess both the suitability of MET curricula for employability and the individual employability of maritime professionals. Additionally, the GAP Measuring Mechanism for MET (GAPMMMET) has been specified to identify and address skill gaps, enhancing employability.
- To support the internationalization process of METs, two tools have been devised:
-
- Strategy Direction Location (STRA.D.L) assists in identifying and selecting international partners based on specific strategic needs.
- Transfer International Tool (Trans. I.T.)facilitates credit transfer across diverse European MET systems, aligning with EQF standards.
