SUMMARY:Maritime Career Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In an effort to address the nationwide demand for a skilled maritime workforce\, Seafarers Worldwide Career Training is partnering with the Economic Development Alliance of Skagit County and the San Juan Economic Development Council to offer a one-day Maritime Career Workshop on June 4 at its Anacortes training facility at 301 30th St. Suite C. \n\n\n\nThis Maritime Career Workshop is open to participants ages 18 and up who are interested in exploring a career in the maritime industry. Participants will learn about the career pathways available locally\, the steps to obtaining the necessary credentials to begin a maritime career\, as well as hands-on experience with basic sea skills such as tying knots\, practicing with survival gear\, and on the water activities. \n\n\n\nCurrently\, there is a high demand for skilled workers to join ferry crews\, tug and barge\, container ships\, and many more seagoing opportunities. The purpose of this program is to help foster a thriving maritime workforce and to encourage local workers to pursue lucrative careers in the maritime industry. Wages in the maritime industry are often well above the state median wage\, and there are many pathways for career advancement and upward mobility. \n\n\n\nParticipants of this Maritime Career Workshop will also receive coaching assistance for their Ordinary Seaman Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) application. This process can be lengthy\, complex\, and is typically required to obtain a position aboard a vessel.
