In order to improve the employment rate of graduates in maritime and fisheries universities, we investigated the employment situations of the those graduates for the last 7 years. The results were as follows, The ratio of graduates in maritime and fisheries universities to total graduates of on-board departments are 69.1% and 30.9% respectively. The on-board employment rate of maritime universities and fisheries universities graduates are 63.2% and 26.7% respectively. Nearly all of the maritime universities students were employed to merchant ship and fisheries universities students were employed to merchant ship 77.2% and only 22.8% of them got a job on fisheries ship. The ratio of getting a job in maritime universities to ocean-going ship was 76.7%, that was the highest ratio and the ratio of fisheries universities got a job to ocean-going ship was 55.1%. The on-board career of maritime universities graduates was 1~5 years, which took 86.4% of all careers and that of fisheries universities was less than 1 year, which took 60.0% of all careers. We should make the various efforts to improve the employment rate of getting job to fisheries ship in the fisheries university gradustes.
