WWTW Debuts Pilot Program, Career Fair For High School Seniors

“We Work The Waterways (WWTW) plans to debut a new pilot program April 18 in Paducah, Ky., and later in Louisiana.

The program, which has been under the umbrella of Inland Rivers, Ports and Terminals Inc., for just over a year, is mostly known for its ‘industry interaction days’ that connect students with the maritime industry through a variety of hands-on skills stations, presentations and tours. Now, WWTW is embarking on its Soft Skills Training and Maritime Career Fair as a way to connect a second time with interested students.
