Skagit Valley College is serving as a lead partner in the Around the Americas project through various program partners including SVC’s marine maintenance technology program. The program serves more than 50 students studying for their associate’s degree or certificates in marine maintenance technology, marine electrical technician, and marine mechanical technician.

Throughout the fall and winter, these students are refitting the 48-foot Ketch, One Ocean, in preparation for the expedition. Students are working on the boat to replace the engine, electronics, and other onboard systems. The Skagit Valley College Foundation is collaborating to provide fiduciary support for the funding of the project.
