As part of our Career Connect Washington Maritime Sector ongoing work, we actively track, document, and inform about emerging technologies and trends. The Port of Tacoma and Tacoma Public Schools broke ground January 8 on the 20-acre Port Maritime Center project. 

The Port Maritime Center campus will be built on Port-owned land across from downtown Tacoma. It will include a new Port business office and Tacoma Public Schools’ Maritime|253 skills center.  

Maritime|253 will provide career and technical education to junior and senior-level high school students from across Pierce County, bringing opportunities to more members of the community and helping fill a growing need for workers in the trades and the maritime industry. Go to this link to read the full article published by the Port of Tacoma https://www.portoftacoma.com/news/port-tacoma-and-tacoma-public-schools-break-ground-port-maritime-center
