Abstract

This paper surveyed & analyzed the career path of the 586 female cadets who graduated from the Korea Maritime University. According to the analysis, 154 graduates have the seafaring experience onboard, while 432 have no chance to work onboard. The figure indicated that one of the challenge is the number of female maritime officers who can engage in the boarding works was relatively limited. However, it is significant implication that about 80% of the graduate have been employed in a maritime industry including shipping, shipbuilding, public sectors and etc.
