Propelling the Next Generation Workforce

We Work the Waterways was proud to bring the conversation about maritime careers and workforce development to the American Association of Port Authorities Annual Convention in New Orleans.

Our panel, “We Work the Waterways: Propelling the Next Generation Workforce,” featured three port representatives who shared how they connect students with careers in the maritime transportation and logistics industries and give them firsthand exposure to the work happening at their facilities.

Through partnerships with We Work the Waterways, they are using Maritime Interaction Days, port tours, educational programming, industry connections and other resources and opportunities to introduce students to careers they may not otherwise know exist.

Panelists:
🔹 Robert Maxwell, The Port of Rosedale-Bolivar County, MS
🔹 Amanda Bolen, Owensboro Riverport Authority
🔹 Micah Cormier, Port of South Louisiana

Moderated by Errin Howard and Kelsey Foster of We Work the Waterways.

Thank you to these port partners for helping us PROPEL the next generation workforce in their communities.
