Breakwater Training was founded by the team behind Sea School, one of the leading maritime training schools. Each year, Sea School trains more than 7,500 students to prepare them for careers in the maritime industry. That experience - building and managing a nationwide training organization rooted in real-world results - became the foundation for something bigger.
With Breakwater, we’re expanding our mission beyond the water and into the skilled trades that power our communities - HVAC, electrical, and plumbing. Our goal is to bring the same hands-on, career-driven training that made Sea School a trusted name in maritime education to a new generation of trades professionals.
At Breakwater, we believe learning a trade should open doors to stability, purpose, and opportunity. That’s why we partner with employers, industry experts, and educators who share our commitment to quality and innovation. Together, we’re helping people build meaningful careers, and helping industries build the skilled workforce they need to thrive.
At Breakwater, we learn by doing. Over 70% of our training takes place in fully equipped labs, giving students hands-on experience with real tools and systems. Our programs combine practical skill-building with expert instruction to prepare students for success from day one.
Our facilities are built like real worksites, with dedicated and robust labs. Students spend most of their time in these hands-on spaces, practicing with industry-standard tools and equipment to master the skills they’ll use on the job.
We train a wide variety of students - from those starting fresh to those changing careers - and bring them together by teaching the foundational skills every trades professional needs. Our hands-on, supportive approach helps each student gain the confidence, knowledge, and credentials to succeed in high-demand careers.
