About the Program
Focusing on a variety of maritime skills needed along the Gulf Coast, including heavy equipment operation, shipbuilding, seafood, transportation, tourism, marine engine, and other maritime occupations, MGCCC will continue to address industry needs through academia and training. Among the industries that are prominent in the unique environment along the Gulf of Mexico, industry partners continuously express the need for a skilled workforce in maritime trades. Median earnings for occupations in the maritime industry can range from $30,000 to $55,000.
The goal of the Maritime Multi-Craft Technology program is to prepare individuals with technical skills in the field of maritime multi-craft technology leading to credentials such as OSHA, Yamaha Marine University, Fork Lift Operator, and Heavy Equipment Operator. Skills and competencies covered in this program include maritime electrical and engine, corrosion, paint and fiberglass, two- and four-cycle engines, gearcase and outdrives, and heavy equipment operations.
Students enrolled in Maritime Multi-Craft Technology may earn a College Credit Certificate, Career Certificate, Technical Certificate, or Associate of Applied Science degree preparatory for employment upon graduation from MGCCC. Where a transfer to four-year college or university is desired, a conference should be scheduled with a MGCCC advisor.
All students completing a career or technical program must complete a MGCCC Board- approved Technical Skills Attainment where applicable. Students should see an advisor for further details.
