Abstract:

This study focuses on investigating the correlation between laboratory training skills and career preparedness of 3rd year AIMS maritime students. A structured survey with three sections was utilized. The study involved a sample of 80 marine transportation students who participated in their respective laboratory training. These students were randomly selected from the 3rd year batch of AIMS marine transportation student population during the school year 2023-2024. Employing descriptive-correlational design, the study collected data from purposively sampled respondents using a validated questionnaire (converted into Google forms) and distributed through a social media platform (Facebook). Descriptive-correlational design was used to explore the relationship between laboratory training skills and career preparedness. Findings revealed that most respondents agree that an increase in laboratory training skills correlates with higher levels of career preparedness. This result highlighted the significance of laboratory training in equipping students with essential skills in preparation for a career in the maritime industry. Based on the finding, the researchers recommend that maritime education institutions should continue enhancing their laboratory training programs. Additionally, maritime cadets are encouraged to actively engage in laboratory training, as it plays a vital role in improving their readiness for the evolving demands of the maritime industry.
