ABYC Foundation launches Webinar Series for Educators and industry leaders

ABYC Webinars

July 25, 2022

The ABYC Foundation Educator Training Conference switched formats this year from a two-day virtual experience to a subscription-based monthly webinar series geared toward enhancing education and training for future and existing marine technicians. Scheduled to launch on September 20, the monthly series is free for ABYC Foundation Affiliated and Accredited schools as well as ABYC members at Manufacturer-level or higher, while general subscriptions are $249. Subscriptions include nine webinars throughout the school year for live interaction with ABYC staff and speakers, networking with participants, and sponsored prize drawings.

The ABYC Foundation Educator Training Webinar Series is designed for those who are already teaching about boats and those developing a new program, as well as for school administrators and industry professionals who want to connect with the trainers.

“We are excited about this new model of a monthly subscription-based series to let educators take their summer off and learn at their own pace,” said ABYC Foundation Executive Director Margaret Podlich. “This is now an ongoing opportunity to bring together the people training our future marine technicians and those who are actively hiring.”

Webinar sessions can be attended live or watched on-demand. Subscriptions are now available at http://www.teachboats.org/etc.
