摘要：

It has been widely agreed that it is time to enhance opportunities for women to be educated and gain experiences in the maritime sector. Taking Massachusetts Maritime Academy as a case-study, and applying school wide questionnaires and data collected over the course of about 40 years, this paper presents an analysis of what maritime institutions can do to advance opportunities for women to survive and thrive in the maritime field, and empower female cadets with the necessary skill sets to embrace a new era of technologically facilitated maritime industry. The findings suggest that post-graduation job market success of the senior female cadets will have the most important impact on future female enrollment and its projected growth rate at MMA.
