Presented by the Center for Dynamic Learning

Dive into a future of opportunity with the Center for Dynamic Learning and the Trades Up Initiative that brings learning to life through hands-on experience and real-world application. Designed to spark curiosity and build confidence, this immersive pathway introduces students to in-demand careers in the marine trades—where innovation meets the water.

Through engaging, project-based learning, students develop essential academic and technical skills while exploring key disciplines such as plumbing, electrical systems, engineering, welding, and fabrication. Along the way, they gain a deeper understanding of how these trades shape marine and coastal infrastructure—and the broader world around us

The program will take place from July 6th to August 7th. We will meet on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, 8:30-3:00 pm, at the Center for Dynamic Learning,1 Louisa Street, Providence, and on Tuesday/Thursday, 12:00-6:30 pm, at Providence Career and Tech, 41 Fricker Street, Providence.
