Help introduce students to the maritime industry by participating in Core Plus Maritime’s 4th Annual Try-A-Trade event at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds in Bremerton on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.
More than 500 students and educators from across Western Washington will gather to explore hands-on opportunities in maritime careers. Yes, it’s in Kitsap – but schools are traveling from Clallam, King, Mason, Jefferson, Pierce, Snohomish, and Grays Harbor counties to attend.
This event gives students a real look into maritime careers and connects you with the next generation of marine professionals and boating enthusiasts.
Exhibitors receive an indoor table and chairs, with optional outdoor space for equipment, tools, or interactive activities. Companies are encouraged to bring hiring information and activities that showcase the skills and excitement of working in maritime.
One day of your time makes a yearlong impact on students, counselors, and educators.
