Why is an alliance necessary to push qualification standards forward?
Hein Velema, Secretary General of the Superyacht Alliance, shares his perspective on why collaboration across the industry is essential to create stronger, more consistent and widely recognised qualification standards.
By bringing key stakeholders together around common goals, an alliance can help strengthen training pathways, improve recognition and support the continued professionalisation of the superyacht industry.
The SYQF is an Erasmus+ cooperation partnership in Vocational Education and Training, co-funded by the European Union.
