Pathway Programs

Pathway Programs


Maritime ~ Environment ~ Life Skills


Sound Experience Pathway Programs are the ways in which we help connect youth to possible future career paths. Through Pathway Programs and experiential learning, participants can explore career paths and explore the variety of opportunities in the realm of maritime and science through hands-on learning and real world environments. In addition, participants would have access to our network of mentors within each field to help further pursue future career possibilities.

Our ship, the Adventuress provides the ideal platform for young people to build social emotional learning, and to practice life skills which are the building blocks for life. So no matter what career path they choose, they begin to build better skills for their future.

How do Pathway Programs work?

Youth can join our Pathway Programs through a couple of different avenues. They can be a participant in one of our programs, apply to our apprentice program or apply to be an intern. Each of these entry points offer access to mentorship, future crew opportunities aboard our vessel, and career connected learning.
