MARITIME INDUSTRY DAY
DIVE INTO YOUR FUTURE
Albacore Park, Portsmouth, New Hampshire
October 1, 2025
Join us on October 1st for a day of excitement at the kick-off for October's Manufacturer Month at the USS Albacore, one of the nation's most influential submarines. This Maine and New Hampshire-led event goes beyond a USS Albacore tour—it's a deep dive into how STEM underpins our core trades. Engage with industry experts, explore career opportunities, and see how manufacturers support the Submarine and Maritime Industrial Base. Each role lets you serve your country without a uniform. We need YOU to join our community. The future is waiting—are you ready to dive in?

GET HANDS-ON WITH TRAINING
Learn about our boot camp-style training programs, designed to give you the skills you need to join the submarine-building mission. Fast-track your career with upcoming apprenticeships and partnerships.
SECURE YOUR FUTURE
The ships and submarines of tomorrow can’t be built without the talent of today — and that means opportunity for you. The maritime and submarine industrial bases are growing, creating high-demand careers in the shipyard and with local manufacturers. From hands-on trades to high-tech specialties, these careers give you the chance to build your skills, shape your future, and play a vital role in protecting our nation’s security.
2024 Maritime Industry Day
The 2024 Maritime Industry Day, held on October 2nd at Albacore Park in Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, and co-hosted by the Manufacturers Association of Maine and Synergy
Workforce Solutions, was a tremendous success. Nearly 400 students from Maine and New
Hampshire Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Jobs for Maine’s Grads (JMG) programs engaged with industry leaders, toured the USS Albacore, and participated in hands-on STEM activities that highlighted the exciting career opportunities in the maritime and manufacturing sectors.
In addition to providing students with invaluable insights into these fields, the inaugural event also raised approximately $10,000 in scholarship funds to support students pursuing careers in these industries, helping to ensure that financial barriers won’t stand in the way of their education and training.
Feedback from both students and participants was overwhelmingly positive. Employers and training providers remarked on how genuinely engaged the students were. One school even asked to stay longer to explore more opportunities! All schools in attendance inquired about next year’s event, leading us to tentatively schedule the 2nd annual Maritime Industry Day for October 1, 2025.
