In May, the Maritime Administration (Marad) named 27 Centers of Excellence for Domestic Maritime Workforce Training and Education (CoE). The CoE designation recognizes community colleges and training institutions that prepare students for careers in the U.S. maritime industry. These academic institutions are located in 16 states and one U.S. territory. One of the CoEs, and the only one in Louisiana, is Delgado Community College. The New Orleans-based school boasts a state-of-the-art maritime training facility - the Delgado Maritime and Industrial Training Center. "This designation has been a work in progress for a few years," said Rick Schwab, the training center's senior director. "I am very excited about the opportunities to develop partnerships with Marad and other designated centers to strengthen training programs for professional mariners nationwide." |
