The future of the maritime workforce is bright, and AME is honored to sign on for our third term (2025 – 2028) supporting the JA Sea the World Maritime Storefront at Junior Achievement of South Florida!
With many skilled trade professionals retiring, we’re preparing the next generation to lead this vital industry. Over the past term (2022-2025), their has been incredible progress. The 3D container ship display has sparked excitement for maritime careers, augmented reality experiences have immersed students in career paths, and the JA Pre-Apprenticeship Program scaled from 25 to 258 students, providing hands-on training, certifications, and the guidance needed to succeed.
We’re excited to continue supporting what’s ahead during the 2025-2028 term, alongside incredible partners and the Junior Achievement team.
Special thanks to Megan Lagasse for hosting us at the stunning Pier Sixty-Six to celebrate these milestones.
Partners can contribute in so many ways beyond the three-year commitment. You can host a tour, volunteer at the storefront, or engage in speaking or job fair events. Get in touch today!
Help me recognize the amazing partners who’ve already committed in one way or another, for the next term! These are the folks who believe in educating the next generation. I’m so excited to see this list growing…and there’s more to come!
