Providing the Great Lakes marine transportation industry with a qualified workforce . . .
An investment in modernizing and expanding the 20,000-square foot Great Lakes International Marine Training Centre in Owen Sound has made it a world-class destination for marine technology training. One million of the remaining $2.5-million fundraising goal is needed from Georgian supporters to support this project. The success of this campaign is crucial because a significant number of workers in the Great Lakes marine transportation industry are set to retire in the near future. A lot is riding on the College’s ability to train more workers for the marine transportation sector. The good news is that enrolment in marine programs is growing and this can be attributed to the new facilities and the support for the program from the marine industry.
