Oyster Farming

Complete the following application to be considered for the training. You will be contacted by The Education Exchange to discuss the training and review your application.

Thank you for your interest in our Oyster Farm Training Program! This is job training program open to Rhode Island residents who have been negatively affected by Covid-19 and are looking to get back into the workforce.

Our next training will start in early 2023 and will run for 4 weeks, Monday through Friday from 9AM to 3PM. The program will take place, in person, at the Education Exchange in Peace Dale (South Kingstown, RI). Participants receive up to $1380 upon completion of all training program benchmarks.

During the first three weeks, participants work on their Boating safety and basic boat mechanics, oyster farming and shellfish biology, customer service skills, and earn their ServSafe Certifications. Opportunities exist to create a pathway to a year long apprenticeship that leads to a captain's license.  For the fourth week, participants will complete a 30-hour internship to demonstrate the skills they have learned and to gain experience in the industry. The main goal of this training is to get Rhode Islanders back to work.

Please complete the following application to be considered for the training. You will be contacted by the Coordinator to discuss the training and review your application.
