Port of Seattle

The Port of Seattle is giving $2 million to organizations involved in the port's Opportunity Youth Initiative: Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle, Seattle Goodwill Industries, Seattle Parks Foundation, and Partner in Employment. The port's initiative provides underserved youth with jobs and skills training, with a focus on South Seattle and south King County. Urban League's Construction Trades Program provides youth with hands-on pre-apprenticeship construction training in building tiny homes. Seattle Goodwill and partners operate the Youth Aerospace Program, which helps youth build aviation-related workplace skills and then connects them with aviation jobs. Seattle Goodwill also works with Seattle Central College to provide the Pre-Apprenticeship Construction Training program for youth looking for construction careers. Seattle Parks Foundation partners with others to focus on green jobs and maritime careers for youth. Partner in Employment works with Mid Puget Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group to conduct habitat restoration training for youths. Partner in Employment also works with Machinists Institute Youth Academy to provide training in aerospace and advanced manufacturing.
