Oct. 22, 2019
The Community College of Rhode Island, in collaboration with Rhode Island Marine Trades
Association, Real Jobs Rhode Island and RI Department of Labor and Training, is now
accepting applications for the Marine Trades & Composites Pre-Apprenticeship Training
Program.
Tuition is free and funded through Real Jobs Rhode Island. The course will begin on
November 4, 2019 and will be held at CCRI’s Liston Campus in Providence.
The three-week, hands-on training prepares participants in a wide range of areas including
carpentry, machining, electrical, marine systems, blueprint reading, safety and other
areas, as well as on-the-job experience in a short-term internship. This program is
geared to individuals looking to gain the skills needed for entry-level positions
in the marine and composites industries.
“Rhode Island is known around the world as a state with a high concentration of boating
and composites companies,” said Julian Alssid, Vice President for CCRI’s Division
of Workforce Partnerships. “This program is a tremendous opportunity for those interested
in a career in this growing industry.”
No experience is necessary and a GED or high school diploma is required. Individuals
interested in this program should contact Cody Fino, Director of Industry Partnerships
at [email protected].
