An exciting day highlighting the power of collaboration, workforce development, and innovation right here in Rhode Island! ⚓️
We were honored to be invited to Senesco Marine to witness the partnership between the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI), Senesco Marine, and Polaris MEP as they showcase a new 14-week shipbuilding welding program designed to prepare the next generation of skilled welders.
This innovative initiative connects education directly with industry needs, creating career opportunities for Rhode Islanders while helping bring a $78.6 million hybrid ferry project to life.
From hands-on welding demonstrations to seeing students train inside an active shipyard, it was inspiring to witness what can happen when education, business, and workforce development come together with a shared vision.
Investing in people, building skills, and strengthening Rhode Island's future — one weld at a time!
