Northwest Maritime

As the need for more hands in maritime increases, the industry is investing in the next generation to ready them for careers as merchant mariners, marine scientists, and engineers. Glosten is just one of many organizations in the Pacific Northwest supporting curriculum development at Highline Public Schools' Maritime High School (MHS), where students get to explore different areas of the marine industry through hands-on learning that prepares them for college and the maritime trades. We recognize the tremendous value these institutions have and we encourage you to get involved! Check out this article from WorkBoat for more about the nation’s maritime high schools or visit the MHS website for information on how to support them locally: https://lnkd.in/gZUbf5E9 #marineindustry #maritime #maritimehighschool

Over the Summer, Northwest Maritime welcomed colleagues from Senator Murray's office to campus. Thank you, Abby and Daniel, for a rich discussion on maritime education and workforce development and for learning more about Northwest Maritime's Blue School Initiative. Everyone should get out on the water! #blueeconomy #blueschools #workforcedevelopment #maritime

So great to be partnering with Grizzly Industrial to continue bringing hands-on programming to the Boatshop. Stop by during the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival to check out all the awesome new Grizzly Industrial tools and equipment. https://lnkd.in/gfCHf4rB

"Both Harbor School and Maritime High School offer a blend of instruction that is both college prep and vocational. Students can move on to college or even maritime academies. Or they can go straight to a good job. “How often can you go to a high school, get college credit and certifications so you can go out at 19 years old and make $50,000 a year,” said Jamilla Gordon, the Maritime High School principal. “That’s unheard of, right? I want to ensure that kids know about it.”"

Navigator Night Out 2024 was a beautiful and inspiring celebration of transformative maritime experiences. We are deeply grateful to Loni Greninger of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe for opening the evening, and honored to pay tribute to Jim Whittaker and Dianne Roberts, Honorary Chairs and long-time friends of Northwest Maritime. Huge thanks to our sponsor, RainCoast Cellars, and thanks to our community for supporting this inspiring evening brimming with goodwill and #generosity!

DNV, a global leader in classification, certification, and technical advisory services, is pleased to announce that Gregor Madden, Area Manager, North America West for DNV, and Gopal Nair have presented a $10,000 check to Northwest Maritime (NWM) in Port Townsend, WA. "DNV’s support for the NWM aligns with our long-standing purpose,” said Antony DSouza, Regional President, DNV Maritime. “For 160 years, our purpose has been to safeguard life, property, and the environment. Partnering with like-minded institutions helps us carry it forward. NWM’s Blue School Initiative is a prime example, inspiring youth to be the stewards of our oceans and the next generation of maritime workers and leaders." In response to the gift, Jake Beattie, CEO of Northwest Maritime reiterates, "Getting students connected to hands-on, climate informed learning is critical for creating connected citizens and the inspired workforce of the future. DNV’s vision and support is key to making that future a reality." Northwest Maritime also thanks Senator Maria Cantwell for including the Blue School Initiative in her appropriations funding request! Her support is instrumental in advancing maritime initiatives and boosting the regional economy.
