Overview of Services:
Our Youth Maritime Program helps prepare high school seniors for a career in the maritime industry. This two-year program provides students a smooth transition through their senior year in high school toward college readiness. It helps build strong soft-skills and connects students with future career maritime opportunities. We offer up to four quarters of maritime classes at area colleges, a summer internship and ongoing college and career navigation and support services.
During the program, students will take field trips and network with maritime industry experts as well as local community leaders. Students will participate in service learning, civic participation, team building, and college and career readiness to prepare students for both their senior year and work. During the second summer session, students will begin maritime courses at an area college.
Credential: NO
Upon completion, students will receive job placement assistance.
