Kekoa graduated from our first Maritime Careers Exploration class which started on January 7, 2014. He wasn’t sure what he wanted to do. His strong work ethic during the ship haul out turned out to be important preparation. Pacific Shipyards International selected him to be one of the first interns from our program. After the 6-week internship, Kekoa was hired full time. We enjoy hearing from Kekoa whenever we visit for a field trip. “ The program ends with a week long sail around the Hawaiian Islands, that your class plans and prepares, which is definitely a once in a lifetime experience and I can’t stress enough how awesome it is. Furthermore, the relationships you gain with your class, crew, and staff, will absolutely help you along in the career of your choosing.”
