IYRS hosts marine industry career day
NEWPORT, R.I. – The International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS) will host the Third Annual Marine Industry Career Day on Saturday, March 1, from 11 am to 2 pm, it reported in a recent statement.
Boat builders, boat yards, and marine manufacturers are in need of skilled workers, and this event is intended to help fill that void, the school suggested. Attendees can meet with regional employers, get information on career and training opportunities, see hands-on demonstrations, and learn about the skills needed to work in the marine industry — a field where jobs are in high demand in the region, IYRS pointed out. Over 30 companies are expected to attend the one-day event, the only marine-exclusive career fair in Rhode Island, according to IYRS.
Held with support from the United Way of Rhode Island, Career Day is part of a state-wide initiative to help more individuals start careers in the marine industry and help current employees strengthen their skills and career prospects, stated the school.
