SUMMARY:Blue Collar 101: Commercial fishing and the maritime trades
DESCRIPTION:What actually happens to keep our coastal waters\, working waterfronts\, and marine supply chains running every single day? Who navigates the commercial fishing vessels\, maintains our complex marine infrastructure\, builds our heavy waterfront structures\, and trains the next generation of maritime leaders? \n\n\nFor the fourth session of Blue Collar 101\, we’re bringing together workers and industry experts from across the Commonwealth’s commercial fishing and maritime sector. Representatives from the commercial fishing industry\, maritime higher education\, marine trade associations\, and heavy marine construction will walk us through what the job actually looks like: the operational mechanics\, the rigorous safety protocols\, the seasonal demands\, and the career pathways into this vital ocean workforce. \nThis is a panel conversation for the general public and those curious about the skilled labor that keeps our coastal infrastructure functioning. \nFree and open to the public but registration is recommended. Doors open at 6:30.
