COMPASS Technical Skills develops applied industrial, shipboard, and workshop competence through hands-on training, structured practice, and skills validation.
COMPASS Technical Skills
The goal is not only to understand the work, but to carry it out with control, accuracy, and sound judgment.
Technical Skills connects foundational knowledge with supervised practice, safe work habits, task repetition, and evidence of performance for technical workers, ratings, fitters, welders, crane operators, cadets, supervisors, and career shifters.
