Marine Manufacturing

The future Marine Manufacturing program (enrollment in 2023) at the Advanced Manufacturing Skills Center (AMSC) will teach you the skills you need to get a job in the industry.

Why get a job in marine manufacturing?

Take a look around Washington state waterways – Navy bases, recreational boats, ferries, cruise  ships, and container ships are everywhere. The Puget Sound area alone has 1,332 miles of coastline - not including the San Juan Islands or the Strait of Juan de Fuca (Puget Sound Factbook, p.16)!  All of these vessels, engines, and accessories are built by marine manufacturers and serviced locally.
