US Maritime Administration Expands Training Network with 16 New Center of Excellence Designations
The federal designation program aims to strengthen national maritime and shipyard workforce pipelines.
The United States Maritime Administration has expanded its federal maritime education framework by awarding Center of Excellence designations to 16 additional training institutions across the country.
The expansion comes as part of a targeted federal initiative designed to address long-term labor requirements and enhance training capacity for the nation's commercial maritime and shipbuilding sectors.
Under the program, designated facilities work to prepare mariners and technical personnel for roles in vessel operations, marine infrastructure, and shipyard construction, helping to modernize the industry's labor pipeline.
Developing specialized vocational and technical skills remains an area of emphasis for federal authorities seeking to support domestic fleet readiness and sustain broader marine industrial capabilities.
