Inland Waterways Education and Workforce Development Study

This project is designed to respond to the need for a comprehensive understanding of the education and training capacities of the industry, and that relationship with current and anticipated workforce demands across the United States. This includes a survey and analysis of the use and future role of simulators and simulation more generally as an education and training tool. Investigators will conduct a survey and summary of existing institutions, interview and data analysis related to current and future workforce demands in the industry, and a survey and summary of simulator usage across the entire system.
