Trevor Guggenbickle, a student from Wrangell, Alaska, is studying marine services technology and pursuing his GED, with the support of his instructors.
Luke Kaderabek, a millwright student at PWSC, is committed to his future in the trades. He turned down a job offer on Alaska's North Slope to finish his program and earn his certification, believing that long-term success starts with a solid foundation.

Prince William Sound College proudly celebrates the Cordova middle school team's recent gold medal victory in the mariculture category at the Alaska Science Olympiad in Fairbanks. In collaboration with PWSC's Dr. Amanda Glazier, students gained hands-on experience in sustainable marine cultivation, preparing them for promising STEM careers. The event also spotlighted local connections, including Valdez native Jessica McKay’s mentorship at UAF. Looking ahead, PWSC continues to support STEM initiatives, including hosting the Valdez STEAM Fest in collaboration with Alaska Blue Economy Center and community partners.
A Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification is essential for students pursuing outdoor leadership or planning to spend extended time in remote environments like Alaska.
For the second consecutive year, Anthony Gerasch, marine technology instructor at PWSC, and Isaac Deaton, the career and technical education (CTE) teacher at Valdez High School (VHS), took their students to the 2025 State Leadership and Skills Conference hosted by SkillsUSA Alaska. This year, their students delivered exceptional performances, achieving top placements in marine service technology and power equipment technology.
