Serve as an informational clearing house for young people interested in pursuing a maritime career. The Seattle Public School's Seaward Bound Program is an example of what the Youth Maritime Training Association encourages and supports. Seaward Bound is a U.S. Coast Guard approved high school program sponsored by Seattle Public Schools. The program reinforces English, math and science skills by applying them directly to maritime training. Students receive professionally recognized work experience and Coast Guard approved seatime, in addition to high school credits, after completing two semesters in the program.
Students completing one semester receive occupational or elective high school credits.
Know what it takes to get and keep a job in the maritime industry. Students get involved in the continuing activity on the waterfront and use new skills the day they're learned.
