WaveWorks Alliance is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to careers in the ocean economy. We exist to help support the growth and expansion of the US workforce in marine, maritime, shipbuilding, and ocean technology industries by building early awareness, connecting education and industry, and creating inclusive pathways to stable, good-paying jobs.

We believe many people simply haven’t been told these opportunities exist, or don’t know how to access them, and we’re here to change that.

WaveWorks is not here to compete with or replace the great work already being done by existing organizations. We’re here to amplify it. By helping take their messages and opportunities to a national level, we aim to create more visibility, more access, and more opportunity for the entire industry. Collaboration is at the core of everything we do.

We work across sectors to build partnerships that inform, prepare, and empower the next generation of ocean economy professionals. Connect with us to learn more, collaborate, or get involved.
