Overview

This book is a workforce development tool and serves as the visual that is often missing when our youth are trying to picture themselves in a workplace situation. The individuals who carve a living out of the maritime industry possess layer upon layer of skills learned over time, but how do you start? Each page includes the person's pathway from high school to their current work and definitions are included in a glossary. The Entry Points page in the back of the book includes school and organization names and a website address that is maintained to serve those seeking maritime education and work. The magazine style book layout allows the viewer to flip through its contents, and, if captured by the visuals, could read the stories, find information, and identify entry points for learning, apprenticeships, and potential job sites. With a physical book, tactile is intentional. Featured are snapshots of a mere slice of the maritime workforce of Jefferson County, WA and could apply to any community seeking to inspire youth to enter trades and maritime trades careers. While initially targeting an audience in Washington state, the resources are open to anyone and many have partners elsewhere and relevance for people nationwide.
