Skagit County Maritime Workforce Roundtable

Join us to build Skagit’s Maritime Workforce Roadmap

Skagit County’s maritime industry depends on a strong, skilled, and sustainable workforce. We are bringing industry leaders together to create a practical, employer-informed roadmap for recruiting, preparing, and retaining the next generation of maritime talent—and your voice is essential.

Please save the date and join the Skagit County Maritime Workforce Roundtable.

This is more than a conversation. It is a working session for maritime employers who are ready to identify real workforce needs and turn them into coordinated action.

Together, we will:
•    Define the most pressing current and future workforce gaps across the local maritime industry.
•    Identify the jobs, skills, credentials, and career pathways that matter most to employers.
•    Explore practical strategies to attract young people, transitioning workers, and other prospective employees into maritime careers.
•    Strengthen connections among industry, education, workforce-development partners, and community organizations.
•    Develop a shared roadmap to recruit and grow the workforce needed to keep Skagit County’s maritime sector competitive and thriving.
