Investing in the Future Maritime Workforce⚓ On March 24, @SeawayUSDOT visited @WNY_MaritimeCS. Our Deputy Administrator and Executive Officer spoke with upperclassmen enrolled in the school’s Maritime Careers class—a unique program that introduces students to careers on the water, teaches navigation fundamentals, and even includes hands-on boatbuilding at the Buffalo Maritime Center. This visit is part of our ongoing commitment to growing the maritime workforce and inspiring the next generation of seafarers, engineers, and innovators. By connecting directly with students, we hope to open eyes to the diverse, rewarding career paths available in the marine transportation sector—and to introduce GLS as an employer of choice in the industry. The energy, curiosity, and talent we see in these students is a powerful reminder: the future of maritime is bright, and it's being shaped in classrooms and communities across the Great Lakes and around the country. 🌊 Let’s keep building that future—one student, one opportunity, and one conversation at a time. #MaritimeCareers# #WorkforceDevelopment# #FutureMariners# #MentorshipMatters# #GreatLakesProud# #CommunityEngagement# #GLS#

Sapna Gheewala Dowla of BCSE member @ToSaveEnergy joined the #DCEnergyExpo# panel on #Workforce# Development this afternoon and shared how to build networks with schools and universities to educate students about opportunities for #energyefficiency# jobs. https://t.co/8S9XxNzk8q

We were thrilled to present the A3 Robot Safety Award at the VEX Ohio Championship, hosted at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. This was our fourth time piloting this award, and the level of student talent made it one of the most competitive judging processes yet! 👏 Congratulations to Team #7316V# - VOLTAGE! from Firestone High School of Akron Public Schools! Their deep understanding of safety standards like ANSI R15.06 and R15.08, as well as their commitment to risk assessment, set them apart. One team member even dug up old manuals—completely unprompted—showing just how dedicated these students are! 💡 A3 is committed to workforce development and STEM education. That’s why we’re excited to invite teams and educators to Automate 2025 (May 12-15 in Detroit)—the world’s largest automation trade show! This year, we’re introducing the Automate Student Challenge, where VEX teams will compete on the trade show floor in front of industry leaders and automation experts. Thanks to everyone who participated and we hope to see you at Automate 2025! #VEXRobotics# #STEM# #Automation# #Manufacturing# #Robotics# #A3Events# #AutomateShow# #Industry40#
