HII Celebrates National Apprenticeship Week
13 Novembro 2023 - 5:45PM
HII (NYSE: HII), America’s largest military shipbuilder and
provider of all-domain defense solutions, is celebrating National
Apprenticeship Week.
Recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor,
National Apprenticeship Week this year runs Nov. 13-19. It is an
opportunity to highlight the success and value of apprenticeships
in supporting economic growth and access to high-quality jobs.
Apprenticeships are offered at each of HII’s three
business divisions: Ingalls Shipbuilding, Mission Technologies and
Newport News Shipbuilding.
“Apprenticeship programs are the foundation in our
workforce development strategy and are significant to beginning a
rewarding career within HII,” said Edmond Hughes, HII executive
vice president and chief human resources officer. “Whether you’re
launching a shipbuilding career at one of our shipyards or learning
the skills needed to advance our work in nuclear and environmental
services, we value the many ways apprenticeships make our company
stronger in support of national security missions.”

At Ingalls Shipbuilding, the Apprentice School has
produced nearly 4,000 graduates since its inception in 1952.
Enrollment for the apprentice program is competitive, and involves
a comprehensive two- to four-year curriculum for students
interested in shipbuilding careers. Apprentices earn competitive
wages and receive a comprehensive benefit package upon entering the
program. This allows apprentices to receive an education, build
work ethic and gain experience through classes and on-the-job
training.
Mission Technologies offers three apprenticeship
programs: two within the Nuclear and Environmental Services
business group that partner with the Nuclear Operator
Apprenticeship Programs at Newport News Nuclear BWXT (N3B) in Los
Alamos, New Mexico, and at Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS)
near Aiken, South Carolina. These reflect HII’s commitment to
building and supporting the education and training of a future
nuclear workforce. The third Mission Technologies program is in the
Fleet Sustainment business group that offers an apprenticeship
program focused on providing students with experience in the
maintenance, repair and modernization of U.S. Navy ships.
Founded in 1919, The Newport News Shipbuilding
Apprentice School offers four- to eight-year, tuition-free
apprenticeships in 19 trades and eight optional advanced programs.
Apprentices work a 40-hour week and are paid for all work,
including time spent in academic classes. Accredited by the Council
for Occupational Education, the school is certified to offer
associate’s degrees of applied science in maritime technology in 26
educational programs. Earlier this year, the school was selected
for the U.S. Department of Labor’s Apprenticeship Ambassador
program.
Across the company, HII invests more than $110
million a year in workforce development, education and training
initiatives. That includes academic partnerships with two- and
four-year colleges and universities, as well as science,
technology, engineering and math (STEM) investments in elementary,
middle and high schools.
