This request will support the development and implementation of high school credit earning, project-based learning opportunities for careers in maritime and environmental conservation at the T-117 project site. The pilot program, to commence in the fall of 2021, will be developed and implemented by the Highline School District, in collaboration with the Port Community Action Team, (PCAT) and the Duwamish Valley Clean Up Coalition TAC. The pilot program will deliver on the Port's commitment to the Duwamish Valley by: 1. Creating community and port capacity building for ongoing collaboration a.

Identified Risks: The COVID 19 pandemic has forced schools throughout our region to end in- person learning and exacerbated the skills gap in the maritime workforce as older workers retire and newer workers are unable to access training opportunities. At the same time, school districts are open to innovations in education and new partners in workforce development. The Port has a short window to participate with local education leaders in the development of new models of education that draw students closer to workplace opportunities. As one local expert stated, "Education is never going to look the same." The limited duration of the T117 project requires inclusion in the 2021 budget, or the opportunity to facilitate workforce training at this location will be lost. In addition, the colocation of the Port construction management office and the program in the heart of South Park is a unique opportunity to provide greater benefit to the Duwamish Valley community.
