Explore a Workplace
We toured a container equipment maintenance shop in south Seattle with Kevin, a foreman with SSA Marine to explore the different work areas, tools, and tasks a heavy equipment apprentice may experience.
Meet Real Apprentices.
We sat down with apprentices (or pre-apprentices!) who are part of SSA Marine’s container equipment maintenance program to learn why apprenticeship is a great option for their careers and their goals.
