Career Training Since 1999
For More Than 25 Years
Since 1999, Coastal Career Academy has helped students throughout Southeastern Massachusetts take the next step toward rewarding careers in healthcare and the skilled trades. Our focus remains simple: provide quality training, practical experience, and personal support from enrollment through graduation.
Founded in New Bedford and now based in Fall River, we’ve stayed small by design so students receive hands-on guidance instead of being lost in a large program. That approach has helped generations of local students earn certifications and move into jobs that fit their lives.
