Penguatan Kompetensi Taruna Akademi Maritim Belawan Melalui Kegiatan Study On Board Dan Pelatihan Praktis Di Kapal KM. Kelud

Abstract

The study on board and practical training conducted aboard the KM. KELUD is an essential component in developing the competencies of cadets from the Akademi Maritim Belawan (AMB) to prepare them for challenges in the maritime industry. This activity aims to enhance the cadets' technical and non-technical skills, such as ship navigation, ship system operation, and teamwork and leadership abilities. During the training period from July  2025, cadets were involved in various practical activities, including emergency situation simulations, to improve their readiness in dealing with real-world maritime problems. The evaluation results indicated a significant increase in technical and non-technical skills, as well as a higher level of job readiness in the maritime industry. This activity demonstrates the importance of experience-based learning approaches in vocational maritime education to produce a skilled and employable workforce.
