On June 7 the Massachusetts
recreational marine trades were awarded a $585,000 State Workforce
Competitive Trust Fund Grant. Commonwealth Corporation, a division of the
Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and
Workforce development, announced the 'Jobs in Boating' grant at a ceremony
at Massasoit Community College (MCC) in Brockton, MA.
Partners in the
'Jobs in Boating' grant include MMTET, the Massachusetts Marine Trades
Association, Massasoit Community College, Bristol Community College and
My-Turn, Inc. The Partners envision the establishment of
a Center of Excellence for recreational marine trades' education, training
and workforce development with headquarters at the Professional Development
Center, Massasoit Community College, Canton,
MA.
The Center of Excellence at Massasoit Community
College will be staffed full-time with a program coordinator to conduct
outreach to potential marine studies candidates who may otherwise miss the

circumstances. The program coordinator will also be charged with
