"Taking the OEC in Marine Services Technology at PWSC was an incredible experience! The course flew by, and I was surprised at how quickly it ended. Our instructor, Anthony Gerasch, Jr., created a fun learning environment while maintaining high work standards. He is very knowledgeable, and regardless of your experience in the marine technician field, you will learn valuable skills in his class. Throughout the program, I gained numerous skills and practical knowledge to apply in the real world. I'm excited about what comes next!" Breiland Willis

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on gratitude and appreciate our blessings, relationships, and opportunities. It is a moment to give thanks for the support we receive from others, including family, friends, and community. In this spirit, we also recognize the land on which we gather. Acknowledging this land and its significance fosters respect and awareness of the ongoing legacies of Indigenous communities.
In observance of Thanksgiving, PWSC will be closed on Thursday, November 28, 2024, and Friday, November 29, 2024. Regular operations will resume on Monday, December 2, 2024.
Free tuition and housing are available for students enrolling in PWSC's OEC in Marine Services Technology program.
