A key piece of our Workforce Development strategy is creating awareness and pathways for port-related careers. Next month, we’ll launch our second aviation career training pathway, an Introduction to Ground Support Equipment Mechanic (GSE) course. The new GSE education program is a partnership between the Port, Port Jobs, and South Seattle College and is likely the first training program in the nation to focus on training GSE mechanics. GSE mechanics are currently in high demand with salaries starting at around $30 an hour, so it’s important to build a training pipeline that prepares workers for these important roles.

Summer days in Seattle mean snacking on delicious locally grown cherries. 🍒 Washington state is the top U.S. producer of sweet cherries, and their taste isn’t the only thing that’s sweet. These delicacies are also the cherry on top of the state economy. SEA Airport is the hub for getting these valuable products to markets. 98% of all exported cherries are shipped to Asia on cargo jets leaving SEA. 🌏 The goal is to get cherries on store shelves in Asia within three days after being picked in Washington!
