COAST

COAST is a collaborative call to action from our region's ocean and marine sector, including entrepreneurs, corporations, academia, investors and government, to strengthen our position in the immense and emerging blue economy... COAST is a branch of South Island Prosperity Partnership, an alliance of over 70 public and private-sector partners in Greater Victoria, including local governments, First Nations, post-secondary institutions, industry associations and nonprofits, and major employers. SIPP works to bolster the region's economic and social prosperity by catalyzing the creation of high-quality, household-sustaining jobs... COAST is developing a training nexus to help build the skill sets and competencies needed to support the blue economy across Pacific Canada, offering courses in a membership model that gives national providers access to the local market. Stay tuned for the program launch in 2024.
