We Boil The Ocean
Uniting Today's Industry with Tomorrow's Talent
WBTO bridges education and industry so students can launch rewarding manufacturing careers — right out of high school.
“Throughout my career as a manufacturing exec, I’ve dreamed of combining educators and industry professionals to create CTE opportunities. When I shared this idea with colleagues, they said, ‘It’s impossible. It’d be easier to boil the ocean.’ Today, we are creating these opportunities, empowering students to attain rewarding manufacturing careers. The naysayers did one thing for us: they gave us our name: We Boil The Ocean.”

What Our Partners Say
“WBTO has been vital in implementing CNC into our manufacturing curriculum. They worked with other local industry partners and schools to help determine how to best incorporate state-of-the-art equipment, tooling, practices and teacher training into our program. WBTO continues to be an invaluable resource and we look forward to working with them long into the future. The one-on-one instruction is second to none!”
