Graduates of the Boat School go on to explore successful careers in traditional boat yards, yacht manufacturing, maritime history museums, educational institutions, wooden boat repair, restoration and replication, rocket industries, fine furniture making and even musical instrument building.

Employment statistics for graduates of the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding were high over a six year period averaging from 75% – 90% –  including data from our students who enter the school expressly pursuing boat building as a hobby. We are proud of the career successes of our graduates and feel confident that this group will report back the same types of successes we have previously seen from the Boat School.

Congratulations, graduates, and best of luck with your future goals and endeavors! Contact the Boat School if we can help you in any way as you move forward on the next steps of your life.
