Abstract: The shipping industry occupies an important position in the global economy. With the continuous growth of global trade and the Chinese economy,as well as the increasing number of specialized ships,there is an urgent demand for nautical talents in the shipping industry. Currently,the cultivation of nautical graduates faces issues such as "low enrollment and pass rates for competency exams", "deviation between theory and practice",and "traditional teaching methods failing to meet the needs of shipping enterprises". These problems significantly hinder the quality of nautical talent cultivation,thereby directly affecting the employment quality of nautical graduates. To address these issues,this paper proposes a "four-aspect and six-chain" talent cultivation model,integrating "industry-education integration,competitions,and evaluations" to achieve a three-dimensional teaching approach for nautical students’ learning,training,competitions,and certificate acquisition. The research findings have important theoretical and practical significance for overcoming the current bottlenecks in the cultivation of nautical graduates,improving the quality and overall competence of nautical talents,and thus further enhancing the employment quality of nautical graduates.
