Great Lakes Boat Building School Welcomes Irish Boat Shop as First Network Member

The Great Lakes Boat Building School (GLBBS) has launched a first-of-its-kind program in the nation, its Marine Dealers Education Network (MDEN), and has named Irish Boat Shop as its inaugural member of this network.

The MDEN is designed to provide an opportunity for marine dealers to influence the industry by impacting the education and development of future marine industry professionals. An MDEN membership is a way for dealers to interact with GLBBS students and build a network for attracting well-trained and prepared graduates. GLBBS has created this program to help address the dire workforce shortage in the Great Lakes region marine industry and beyond.

“We are extremely excited to partner in this unique way with Irish Boat Shop, such a respected and well-known Northern Michigan boat dealer,” says Nikki Storey, president of GLBBS. “This is a classic win-win scenario as we seek to continue placing our students in rewarding careers, and Irish Boat Shop offers our graduates outstanding opportunities for growth and development in their organization.”
