Last week, we had the privilege of attending the Maritime Workforce Forum presented by the Center of Excellence for Marine Manufacturing & Technology in partnership with the Port of Bellingham and sponsored by Whatcom Working Waterfront Coalition.
We were especially proud to have one of our own, Jacob Massey, Head of our Welding Department, participate as a panelist, sharing insights and answering questions regarding welding capacity, workforce systems, and the challenges facing the shipbuilding and repair industry.
We also had the opportunity to hear from many other panelists about our ports, industrial waterfronts, and the future of shipbuilding. It was inspiring to learn more about the people behind the MAC Welding Project — an incredible initiative bringing accessible, open-source, cross-sector welding and fabrication educational resources to Washington.
At Dakota Creek, we are proud to be part of the ongoing conversations surrounding the maritime industry in Washington and the efforts shaping its future.
A special thank you to Ann Avary for the invitation and to everyone who helped make this forum such a meaningful and impactful event.
