The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has called the ocean the new economic frontier, and forecasts that the global ocean economy will more than double by 2030 to ~ $3 trillion USD. Canada - with the world's longest coastline and abundant ocean resources - must harness new marine technology to responsibly develop its ocean economy in the face of rapid global climate change. This requires highly skilled personnel to apply advanced ocean observing systems, data analytics and visualization tools for the collection, analysis and communication of ocean data. The Pacific Rim Ocean Data Mobilization and Technology (PRODIGY) training program will bridge the fields of oceanography, geophysics, computer science and statistics, harnessing new ocean observing technologies, data science and visualization tools to support ocean observation, prediction and knowledge mobilization. It will produce three inter-disciplinary cohorts of highly skilled trainees with job-ready skills needed for employment government laboratories, industry and NGO sectors, including positions in the ocean technology sector, environmental consulting, exploration geophysics, aquaculture and fisheries management, among others. The program builds directly on ~ $20M in funding our group has received to support the acquisition of advanced ocean sensors and big data management infrastructure. Partnership with the Millennium Institute of Oceanography in Chile will provide an immersive cross-cultural training experience, and access to comparative ocean study sites across the eastern Pacific Rim, building new international research collaborations and bi-lateral exchanges of trainees between Canadian and Chilean laboratories. Training will be delivered through dedicated course work, workshops and annual one-week summer schools, field-based research in Canada and Chile, and internships with potential employers in the ocean technology, government, NGO and educational sectors. Graduating PRODIGY HQP will gain unique interdisciplinary knowledge and job-ready skills in emerging ocean observing technology and data science, preparing them to support the sustainable development of Canada's future ocean economy.

经济合作与发展组织(OECD)将海洋称为新的经济前沿，并预测到2030年，全球海洋经济将翻一番以上，达到约3万亿美元。加拿大拥有世界上最长的海岸线和丰富的海洋资源，必须利用新的海洋技术，在快速的全球气候变化面前负责任地发展其海洋经济。这需要高技能人员应用先进的海洋观测系统、数据分析和可视化工具来收集、分析和交流海洋数据。环太平洋海洋数据动员和技术(PRODGY)培训计划将在海洋学、地球物理、计算机科学和统计学领域架起桥梁，利用新的海洋观测技术、数据科学和可视化工具来支持海洋观测、预测和知识动员。它将培养三批具有就业所需技能的跨学科高技能受训人员，包括海洋技术部门、环境咨询、勘探地球物理、水产养殖和渔业管理等领域的职位。该计划直接建立在我们集团获得的约2000万美元资金的基础上，以支持收购先进的海洋传感器和大数据管理基础设施。与智利千年海洋学研究所的伙伴关系将提供身临其境的跨文化培训体验，以及进入东太平洋地区的比较海洋研究地点，建立新的国际研究合作，并在加拿大和智利的实验室之间进行培训人员的双边交流。将通过专门的课程作业、讲习班和每年为期一周的暑期学校、在加拿大和智利的实地研究以及在海洋技术、政府、非政府组织和教育部门潜在雇主的实习机会来提供培训。即将毕业的神童HQP将在新兴的海洋观测技术和数据科学方面获得独特的跨学科知识和就业技能，为支持加拿大未来海洋经济的可持续发展做好准备。
