ABYC Donates Boat to Marine Service Technician Progra

The American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) has donated a boat to Cecil College in Chesapeake City, Maryland, for its new Marine Service Technician program. This donation offers Cecil College students a practical learning experience, enhancing their skills and employability in a sector increasingly in need of qualified technicians.

The college recently celebrated the launch of its Marine Service Technician program with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held at the Bohemia Vista Marina. Incorporating ABYC’s Marine Service Technology curriculum, the program ensures students receive a standards-based education and industry best practices. The curriculum is designed to provide high-quality training in boat maintenance and construction, preparing them for a range of career opportunities in the marine service industry.

The boat donated by ABYC had previously been utilized for research and testing of alternative fuels.
