PASCAGOULA, Miss., Oct. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII's (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division recognized its latest apprentice program graduates at a ceremony this month. Ingalls celebrated 136 apprentice graduates in the classes of 2020, 2021 and 2022, who have invested time in the classroom and shipyard to prepare them for a shipbuilding career. It was the first in-person graduation ceremony in two years.
"I am honored to celebrate this elite group of graduates who have committed their unique talents and abilities to advancing national security," Ingalls Shipbuilding President Kari Wilkinson said. "Together we will continue to build on Ingalls' legacy of service to our country by delivering ships to our customers."
Enrollment for the apprentice program is competitive, and students work full-time while learning a craft through classes and on-the-job training. The prestigious workforce development program has produced nearly 4,000 graduates since its inception in 1952.
The 2022 Overall Apprentice of the Year, Robert Cowan, provided remarks during the ceremony, sharing why individuals should consider participating in the program.
"Ingalls has empowered me to learn a new craft that I knew nothing about, which has allowed me to take part in building Navy ships for our country," Cowan said. "If someone is willing to learn a new trade and able to work while they are learning, then it's a great opportunity."

Honestly I like the subs fighting Russians in the melted Arctic circle, no end to it. Also Chinese Spratley islands however you spell that.
..NO END TO IT lol
Defense tickers just getting started given Russian aggression, China temporarily quiet. Also loaded miners w the green revolution; can't lose. Not just to put up another building, but phones, green (copper, ree, iron/steel, etc), wind mills, solar farms, Dysprosium for F-35's, cloud buildout, duh metaverse, (NVDA) all that.
I ask my green friends, mining or mining, which do you choose? ..too funny, actually not funny. World is what it is, people do what they do, our job is to figure out what they're going to do.
Putin waited out Trump, now testing Biden. Today Biden said going to help Ukraine with intelligence/weapons. Too little too late imo, ESCALATION m'fer imo.
Generally I am a happy person that wants a better world. I came here to support PSID which after many r/s went to dead. Now peeps think PISD is an angry person, but it's not true.
gl, and thanks again the HII pick..

HII Leaps Higher on Forbes' List of America's Best Large Employers for 2022
1:30 pm ET February 17, 2022 (Globe Newswire)
Global engineering and defense technologies provider HII (NYSE:HII) ranked #11 among large companies on the list of America's Best Large Employers for 2022, published this month in Forbes magazine. According to Forbes, HII's ranking represents the biggest jump of any large company on the list, rising from number 387 last year. HII is also the only aerospace and defense contractor within the top 40 large companies on the list.
"I've always said and I truly believe we're in the workforce development business," said Mike Petters, president and CEO of HII. "In all my years with this company, and the last 11 leading HII, I've found that if you take care of employees just about everything else takes care of itself."
The America's Best Employers list is based on views of 60,000 Americans surveyed anonymously. Respondents were asked to rate companies on factors such as working conditions, development opportunities, compensation, and how likely they'd be to recommend their employer. Forbes partnered with the market research company Statista to identify the companies; HII played no role in the survey methodology, identification of respondents or compilation of results.
At 44,000 strong, HII's workforce unites diverse backgrounds and skill sets, from pipe fitters to nuclear physicists to software coders. Nearly a quarter of HII's workforce has been with the company at least 25 years, and more than 1,600 workers have been employed for at least 40 years. Additionally, HII hires, trains and upskills more than 5,000 workers each year.
While offering best-in-class benefits to its employees, HII also invests in nurturing its talent pipeline, spending $100 million each year on workforce development, including the shipbuilding apprentice schools in Virginia and Mississippi and a tuition reimbursement program that promotes continued education among existing employees.
With the long-term health and welfare of the defense industrial base in mind, the company supports the HII Scholarship Fund, offering employees subsidies for childcare. The company also supports the Maritime Training Academy, middle school science, technology, engineering and math mentorship and other education-related initiatives in support of the future workforce.
In addition, HII invests in the communities where employees live and work. In 2021 the company contributed more than $6 million in charitable giving to the United Way, American Red Cross and American Heart Association, among other nonprofit and charitable organizations.
