WANTED: MARINE TECHNICIANS!

There is a dramatic shortage of marine mechanics throughout the U.S.. (hundreds in Massachusetts alone). It is estimated that this shortage will continue for years to come.

Key reasons to choose a career in BOATING:
  • Attractive, well-paying jobs.
  • Jobs you can enjoy. It can be fun to go to work.
  • Recession proof careers - when new boats aren't selling, pre-owned boats need repair.
TRAINING is available right here in Massachusetts. To inquire: Ed Lofgren, Education Committee, Massachusetts Marine Trades Association, P.O. Box 272, Milton, MA 02186 or email: erl@3amarine.com.
