NEWPORT NEWS—HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) recently signed a total of 32 graduating high school seniors for careers in shipbuilding. The event took place at the New Horizons Regional Education Center (NHREC) Good Life Solution Program’s Career Selection Day. Bringing in new employees is imperative for the shipyard when it comes to executing on order for mission-critical aircraft carriers and submarines in service of the U.S. Navy and the nation.

Twenty of the students who signed on will begin full-time positions within the shipyard and the other 12 will attend The Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School, which will prepare them for a career in shipbuilding. The Apprentice School is funded by HII to train and develop the next generation of shipbuilders. It offers four- to eight-year tuition-free apprenticeships in 19 trades and eight options advanced programs, including accredited undergraduate degrees in engineering.
