Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE: HII) Newport News
Shipbuilding division was recognized as the National Business of
the Year by the National Association of State Workforce Agencies.
The company was honored for its robust training and development
programs and its ongoing partnerships with workforce investment
boards, community colleges, local school districts and community
groups to recruit, retain and train current and future generations
of workers.
“We are honored to be recognized for our workforce development
efforts,” said Susan Jacobs, Newport News Shipbuilding vice
president of human resources and administration. “Building and
maintaining a talented workforce is one of our highest priorities,
and this award reinforces our commitment to our community and
industry.”

The award also acknowledges the recently announced partnership
with the Commonwealth of Virginia to support Newport News’ plan to
hire as many as 7,000 new shipbuilders over the next five years.
This initiative is supported by various state agencies, including
the Virginia Employment Commission, which nominated the company for
the award, and regional community colleges.
“We’re proud that the nation’s largest shipbuilding company and
the sole builder of U.S. Navy aircraft carriers has its home here
in Virginia,” said Gov. Ralph Northam. “Newport News Shipbuilding
is investing in and employing thousands of Virginia workers and
contributing greatly to the economy and life of our commonwealth.
I’m delighted to see Newport News Shipbuilding receive this
national recognition, and I congratulate the company on this
well-deserved accolade.”
Newport News received the recognition last week at the National
Association of State Workforce Agencies’ 82nd annual meeting in
Birmingham, Ala.
