About the Program
Working with the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) and Atlantic Technical College (ATC), MIASF established the State's first registered Yacht Service Technician Apprenticeship Program (YSTAP). The two-year program gives apprentices a basic set of shipyard skills to jump start a career in the marine industry.
The Yacht Service Technician Apprenticeship Program offers a high-wage, high-skill, and high-demand career path that fills a specific need for skilled workers in the marine industry. Working closely with MIASF and local employers, Atlantic Technical College developed a robust curriculum that includes rigging, forklift an crane operations, pipefitting/plumbing, welding/fabricating, carpentry, and painting.
A skilled workforce is critical to the growth of the marine industry and this program is the first step in training the next generation of skilled trade workers that needed.
