The article deals with the most significant aspects of developing human resourcing at transport enterprises. The transportation industry is one of the most important both from the point of view of the national economy and the life support of an individual. The success of the transportation industry depends largely on human resources. Currently, there are two models of staff training for the transportation industry around the world: in narrowly focused specialized educational organizations or in classical universities at specialized transport faculties, departments and schools. Both models are subject to the same influence of external factors. Structural transformation of the global economy, as well as processes of sustainable development and digitalization play a special role. The article attempts to reflect the impact of a number of factors on the staffing of the transportation industry, as well as to consider ways to reduce their negative impact.
The paper advances the results of the on-going work conducted within the frame of the European Twinning project ALLIANCE. In the effort to assess educational needs of different stakeholder groups involved in the domain, this paper’s main interest is to study knowledge and importance of governance issues and smart solutions, which enable smooth and seamless interconnectivity of alternative transportation modes, and techniques for facilitating decision-making and evaluation of these solutions. Data were collected through a questionnaire web-based survey addressed to different stakeholder groups in Latvia: policy makers, industry, academia/research and students. From the statistical analysis conducted it was concluded that there are differences in the average rating of different thematic areas (i.e. governance, smart solutions, decision-making) by the respondents. Especially stakeholders belonging to policy makers, industry and students valuated their knowledge on Governance and Smart Solutions below average and at the same time these areas as important for carrier development. Recommendations on the adaptation of an education/training program for Latvia were drawn from the above analysis.
