Our Program Benefits

If you’re interested in starting your career in the marine industry…

The Marine Trades Institute can help you jump-start that career! With two 12-month programs that focus specifically on the marine trades, you can develop your skills to become anything from a marine carpenter or custom boat builder to a marine mechanic or technician. 

Students at Marine Trades Institute generally spend over 80% of their time working hands-on in a shop-like setting or on the water. With an innovative, holistic approach to training, each program focuses on both technical skill training and “soft” skill training, helping graduates to be ready when they enter the workforce.

Amazing Alumni

What I love most about my current job is that I get to be on the water every day and since I am on commission, I can be as busy as I want to be. In Austin the boating industry is huge, and the demand is very high for people like me. This allows me to work as much as I’d like. Seeing different calibers of boats from a 17ft fishing boat to 60 ft yachts to 115 ft houseboats gives me a wide variety of vessels to work on and learn from. This is why I chose this location.
