Where Students Live, Learn, and Play on the Water

Marine Trades Institute is located along the northern shore of Lake Huron in the Les Cheneaux Islands. The school sits on a gorgeous waterfront campus where students can truly live, learn, and work on the water! As a student training in Michigan’s Eastern Upper Peninsula, you can satisfy any thirst for outdoor recreation within the endless acres of public forest, trails, campgrounds, rustic resorts, beaches, and miles of open water and protected channels.

Amazing Alumni

One of the most valuable things I learned at [the school] is that there are always different ways to do things and finding your own way is okay, as long as the finished product is quality. Another benefit of attending is that the school taught me the basics of carpentry. When I graduated high school, I had never touched a tool. The [Comprehensive Career Boat Building Program] taught me how to properly use those tools!
