If you are currently enrolled in an academic program that requires field work for your degree, of if you would like to learn boatbuilding for credit, Cooperative Internships are an excellent way to add an experiential element to your studies.

We are very flexible and creative when working with school administrators to determine what is required for credit. While building a boat is the major focus of the study, some students are required to keep written journals and write essays about their time at the 'Shop, while others have studied the managerial aspect of non-profit organizations while learning how to build a boat.

You can create your own program dependent on your interests, motivations, and goals. If you would like more information about boatbuilding training as part of your academic program, please contact the administrator at your school, or get in touch with us directly.

For the cost of materials, you can take your boat home with you upon completion of the program. You do not need to bring any tools for your Internship, though if you have some old favorites, we encourage you to bring them along.

Apply to begin a Cooperative Internship and let boatbuilding be a part of your academic education.
